103. (b) A corresponding labelling study under biphasic conditions with (E)-13 and have again concluded that dioxiranes are intermediates. These experiments were complicated by O-18 exchange with the buffer and less reproducible mass spectrometry. (b) The discrepancy between the observed and the expected incorporation of label was majorly due to a rapid formation and consumption of the dioxirane faster than the exchange of the label from the surrounding water with the ketone catalyst, and provided the most compelling evidence that, within experimental error, dioxiranes are the reactive oxidants in the monophasic epoxidation with Oxone.
