Three series of compounds based on the cyclohexene framework have been epoxidized by dimethyldioxirane. A pronounced dependence of epoxide disasteroselectivity on substituent has been observed. In addition there is a solvent influence on this stereoselectivity. The results have been explained by invoking steric, H-bonding, and dipole-dipole influences on the epoxide stereochemistry. 1 fig., 3 tabs.
