Epoxyalcohols are useful intermediates in complex organic synthesis, and recently they have been recognized as versatile intermediates for synthesis of natural products. The treatments of cis and trans 2-(1-cyclohexenyl) cyclohexanol, separately with paranirto perbenzoic acid gave the corresponding 2-(1- cyclohexenyl) cyclohexanol oxide. On the other hand, 2-cyclohexylidene cyclohexanol oxide was prepared in two ways. The structure of all the compounds confirmed via IR, NMR spectroscopy, and position of hydrogen bonding was examined with IR spectroscopy. Nucleophilic opening of the corresponding compounds by various nucleophilic is under study.
