What is it about?

(Perfluoroalkyl)methyloxiranes (II) are prepared in excellent yields and chemoselectivities, reaching best results in hexane. A change of the solvent strongly influences the epoxide yield and the amount of unsaturated by-products. Regioisomers (Ia) and (III) give a different pattern of by-products.
