Abstract
Epoxides appearing among the photooxidation products of olefins are usually resulting from secondary reactions of the intermediate hydroperoxides or epidioxides. Epoxides may form from these intermediates either by rearrangement or via a Prileshajew type reaction with unconsumed olefin. The formation of steroid epoxyketones [1] and of epoxides in the pyrrole [2] and furan [2, 3] series has been mentioned in the pertinent chapters (39 and 42). Hence, only a few further examples of photochemical epoxide formation will be discussed in the following text.
