What is the source of the epoxide oxygen in the Mo‐catalyzed epoxidation of olefins? The olefinic side chain CH 2 CHCH 2 of the isolated complex 1 (structure shown on the right) is epoxidized only on addition of hydroperoxides. Thus in complex 1 , in contrast to previously proposed mechanisms for the title reaction, an oxygen atom from the η 2 ‐peroxo ligand is not transferred to the olefin.
