Mechanism of Darzens Reaction

Stereochemistry of Darzens Reaction depending on the specific structures involved, the epoxide may exist in cis- and trans- forms. A specific reaction may give only cis-, only trans-, or a mixture of the two. The specific stereochemical outcome of the reaction is affected by several aspects of the intermediate steps. Before SN2 reaction is controlled by Kinetics while after SN2 reaction is controlled by Thermodynamics.
