Two configurations can actually be envisioned for the transition state in the DMDO

Chapter 11, Problem 11.58

(choose chapter or problem)

Two configurations can actually be envisioned for the transition state in the DMDO epoxidation of (Z)-2-butene, based on analogy with geometric possibilities fitting within the general outline for the transition state in a peroxycarboxylic acid epoxidation of (Z)-2-butene. Draw these geometries for the DMDO epoxidation of (Z)-2-butene. Then, open the molecular models on the books website for these two possible transition state geometries in the DMDO epoxidation of (Z)-2-butene and speculate as to which transition state would be lower in energy
