Hey just a quick question I have been wondering about but havn't seen the answer to: If both the performic and the oxone routes both yield glycol/epoxide in roughly 95% yields, then the only difference should be the hydrolysis. But the hydrolysis is the same in the two methods, then why are there such different yields in the two methods? Please could someone clear this up, it has confused me for the longest time. (Swim however is going the O2 wacker route w/ custom built reactor, clean, small, and easy imo)
