Production of Epoxyethane
« on: March 01, 2007, 04:37:45 PM »
To produce epoxyethane you can react ethene with oxygen in the presence of a silver catalyst. Can anyone tell me the entire mechanism for this reaction or a website on which the entire mechanism is shown?

I did not know that. but u can make the epoxyehtane by reacting the methene with a peroxyacid, mechanism for that is all over text books.
