The answer choices for part b ["How would you convert the alkene to a epoxide?"] are:

(a) Br2/NaNH2 in liq NH3;
(b) mCPBA;
(c) OsO4

Thank you!

a) This alkene can be prepared via Wittig reaction. Draw structural formulas for the aldehyde and the Wittig reagent.
Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right
corner.
Draw the Wittig reagent in the ylide form.
• If more than one combination of Wittig reagent and aldehyde is possible, draw only one set.
