56. 2 (30%) from Merck was used as received. The peroxide content varied from 33% to 40% as determined by titration.
57. Side-products are rearrangement products of the corresponding epoxide.
58. Most of the substrates and epoxides for GC-FID calibration are commercially available. The others were synthesized according to literature methods and determined by NMR and GC-MS. In addition, authentic samples of the commercial products were analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID.
