Neighbouring effects on catalytic epoxidation by Fe-cyclam in M2-PDIxCy complexes

The unsymmetric PDIeCy ligand, featuring pyridinediimine and cylam sites, can be selectively metalated. Complementing the diiron compound, we have synthesized two heterobimetallic isomers, [ZnPDIFeCy(PDIeCy)(OTf)4] (3) and [FePDIZnCy(PDIeCy)(OTf)4] (4), and a dizinc complex, [Zn2(PDIeCy)(OTf)4] (5). Olefin epoxidation by the series of complexes was investigated. The M-PDI site influences the reactivity of the M-cyclam, resulting in increased activity toward enones. This journal is

Metal-Free and Efficient Epoxidation of α,β-Unsaturated Ketones with 1,1,2,2-Tetrahydroperoxy-1,2-Diphenylethane as a Powerful Solid Oxidant

1,1,2,2-Tetrahydroperoxy-1,2-diphenylethane was used for the efficient and metal-free epoxidation of various α,β-unsaturated ketones, carried out under mild alkaline conditions at room temperature.

Epoxidation of alkenes with aqueous hydrogen peroxide and quaternary ammonium bicarbonate catalysts

A range of solid and liquid catalysts containing bicarbonate anions were synthesised and tested for the epoxidation of alkenes with aqueous hydrogen peroxide. The combination of bicarbonate anions and quaternary ammonium cations opens up for new catalytic systems that can help to overcome challenges with catalyst separation and reuse.
