Previous work done on the rearrangement of epoxidy free radical shows decomposition processes. Styrene oxide, cyclohexane oxide and stilbene oxide were studied at room temperature using Fenton reagent as a radical initiator. Results of the study obtained on styrene oxide reaction shows the formation of bibenzyl with a percent yield of 7.5%. The reported results obtained using stilbene oxide are thus far inconclusive of the mechanism and final product with a percent yield of 5.2%. The reported results obtained using cyclohexane oxide are thus far inconclusive of the mechanism but yields the final product at a percent yield of 10%.
