This video takes you through the reaction and mechanism for alkene epoxidation. Starting with an understanding of peracids including mCPBA (meta chloroperbezoic acid) followed by a shortcut to quickly identifying products.
And finally a full color explanation of the cyclic 'concerted' mechanism for reacting the peroxy acid with an alkene.
