Questions based on epoxides and crown ethers

Epoxides of alpha,beta -unsaturated carbonyl compounds can be formed by peroxy acid as well as with H_(2)O_(2)//O^(Θ)H . Explain the formation of epoxides in both cases.

a. Epoxides of alpha,beta -unsaturated carbonyl compounds can be formed by peroxy acid as well as with H_(2)O_(2)//O^(Θ)H . Explain the formation of epoxides in both cases. b. Acrolein (CH_(2)=CH-CHO) is epoxidised much more rapidly with H_(2)O_(2)//overset(Θ)(OH) than with a peroxy acid. Explain why.
