## Abstract The epoxidation of allylic hydroperoxides 2aβh by dimethyldioxirane afforded the epoxy hydroperoxides 3aβh in very good yields. On the other hand, only the substrates 2a, b and 2dβf can be converted into the corresponding epoxy hydroperoxides by peroxy acids in reasonable to good yields
The steric effects of allylic substituents in the epoxidations bonding is ineffective and steric interactions cause a higher trans selectivity. The conformationally fixed cis-and trans-with methyltrioxorhenium/urea/hydrogen peroxide adduct (MTO/UHP) have been assessed for a series of 3-alkyl-5-tert-
