1. Precursor of dimethyldioxirane, by reaction with K monopersulfate, and isolation in solution by low temperature distillation. For details, see: Chem. Ber., 124, 2377 (1991). It is an excellent reagent for rapid, stereospecific epoxidation of alkenes under mild conditions: J. Org. Chem., 50, 2847 (1985); Org. Synth. Coll., 9, 288 (1998).
