22. 2 mixtures show a resonance at δ = 1.33 ppm, which has previously been ascribed to 2-hydroxy-2-hydroperoxypropane [10]. There is no evidence for the formation of dimethyldioxirane in reaction conditions. Moreover, no products are formed at all when the Mn catalyst is omitted from the reaction mixture, whereas dimethyldioxirane is known to epoxidize olefins spontaneously.
