For 10 points, name these molecules that all have a three-membered ring containing oxygen.
Sodium hypochlorite and methyl dichloride react with trans-alkenes to from them in the Jacobsen-Katsuki reaction. Another reaction uses sulfur ylides and ketones in DMSO to yield them, and that reaction is named after Johnson, Corey, and Chaykovsky. Yet another synthesis of these compounds, the Prilezhaev reaction, proceeds through the so-called "Butterfly Mechanism," while enantioselective versions of them are created from allylic alcohols via a reaction named after Sharpless. They are most commonly formed by an oxygen in the spiro position attacking a double bond, with the use of a peracid like mCPBA to donate the oxygen.
