Using semiempirical and ab initio procedures, the most stable conformations of meso ‐ and rac ‐bioxirane and of some substituted 1,2:3,4‐diepoxides were calculated. For threo ‐diepoxides (having the same relative configurations as rac ‐bioxirane, 3 ), two stable conformations with CCCC dihedral angles of ca . 90 and ca. 270° were found. For erythro ‐diepoxides (derivatives of meso ‐bioxirane, 4 ) the calculations suggest three preferred conformations with corresponding dihedral CCCC angles of ca. 90°, ca. 180°, and ca. 270°. The calculations are in fair agreement with the experimental data available for the unsubstituted compounds 3 and 4 .
