High temperature and pressure produce the highest rate of reaction. However, this must be balanced with the high cost of the energy needed to maintain these conditions. Catalysts increase the rate of reaction without affecting the yield. This can help create processes which work well even at lower temperatures.
I hope this helps you.
Alkenes on reaction with meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA ) produces epoxides. When styrene is reacted with mCPBA it gives 2-phenyloxirane as shown below,
A. I’m not positive but I’m pretty sure
