Short Answer

Expert verified

An ether in which the oxygen is integrated into a three-membered ring is known as an epoxide.

Definition of peroxy acid-

A carboxylic acid containing an additional oxygen is known as a peroxyacid.

Definition of epoxide-

An ether in which the oxygen is integrated into a three-membered ring is known as an epoxide.

Definition of peroxy acid-

A carboxylic acid containing an additional oxygen is known as a peroxyacid.

02

Nomenclature of Epoxide-

An epoxide's common name is formed by adding "oxide" to the common name of the corresponding alkene; the oxygen represents the p bond of an alkene. Ethylene oxide is the most basic epoxide.

Therearetwowaystonameepoxides.

  • The three-membered ring is referred to as "oxirane" in one, and oxygen is given the 1-position. Thus, in the 2-position of the oxirane ring, 2-ethyloxirane bears an ethyl substituent.
  • In the other, an epoxide is referred to as an alkane, with the prefix "epoxy" indicating the carbons to which the oxygen is linked.
