Tile stereochemistry of the oxiranes, obtained by radical induced decomposition of various peroxydic compounds, was determined by NMR spectroscopy. The stereoselectivity of the intramolecular homolytic substitution on the peroxidic bond was discussed in relation to the effect of the reaction temperature and on the influence of structural factors such as the nature of the leaving and attacking radicals.
