Three- and two-site heteropolyoxotungstate anions as catalysts for the epoxidation of allylic alcohols by H2O2 under biphasic conditions: Reactivity and kinetic studies of the [Ni3(OH2)3(B-PW9O34){WO5(H2O)}]7?, [Co3(OH2)6(A-PW9O34)2]12?, and [M4(OH2)2(B-PW9O34)2]10? anions, where M?=?Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II)

The trimetallic phosphopolyoxotungstate anions [Ni3(OH2)3(B-PW9O34){WO5(H2O)}]7? and [Co3(OH2)6(A-PW9O34)2]12? have been studied as epoxidation catalysts for oxygen transfer from 30% H2O2 to a range of allylic alcohols under biphasic conditions (1,2-dichloroethane/H2O) at 15 °C. The reaction mechanism involves coordination of an allylic alcohol at an M(II) site in each case, prior to transfer of a peroxy oxygen from an adjacent W(O2) site. The latter is formed from a terminal W = O unit by reaction with H2O2. Evidence of W(O2) formation was obtained through IR studies. The W(O2) group forms the epoxide by transfer of an oxygen atom to the C[dbnd]C bond of the coordinated allylic alcohol. Kinetic studies using 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol as the allylic alcohol substrate have been modelled with all three metal sites catalytically active. The reaction involves an autocatalysis mechanism involving an induction period, which can be rationalised by proposing not only coordination of the allylic alcohol to M(II), but also the product hydroxy epoxide, both through their –OH groups. The autocatalysis is generated by formation of the W(O2) group adjacent to a coordinated hydroxy epoxide, which competes with coordination of allylic alcohol. The mechanism requires some twenty-one steps involving just the generic steps listed above, with all three metal sites catalytically active. Temperature-dependent kinetic studies and subsequent Eyring analyses have shown that the Co(II)-containing catalyst is the most active of the two. Analogous studies of the epoxidation of 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol by the two-site [M4(OH2)2(B-PW9O34)2]10? ions as catalysts, where M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II), at 15 °C gave an order of reactivity of Cu(II) > Ni(II) > Zn(II), Co(II), Mn(II), which mostly mimics the natural order of stability constants (the Irving-Williams series), suggesting that the formation of the allylic alcohol complexes play a dominant role in this series of related complex anions, with greater replacement of water by allylic alcohol leading to greater reactivity.

1,3-Enynes are important building blocks in organic synthesis and also constitute the key motif in various bioactive natural products and functional materials. However, synthetic approaches to stereodefined substituted 1,3-enynes remain a challenge, as they are limited to Wittig and cross-coupling reactions. Herein, stereodefined 1,3-enynes, including tetrasubstituted ones, were straightforwardly synthesized from cis or trans-alkynylated oxiranes in good to excellent yields by a one-pot cascade process. The procedure relies on oxirane deprotonation, borylation and a stereospecific rearrangement of the so-formed alkynyloxiranyl borates. This stereospecific process overall transfers the cis or trans-stereochemistry of the starting alkynyloxiranes to the resulting 1,3-enynes.

In this study, convenient and selective oxidation of alcohols using aqueous hydrogen peroxide to yield carbonyl compounds was studied. Using the ruthenium-(4-methylphenyl-2,6-bispydinyl) pyridinedicarboxylate complex [Ru(mpbp)(pydic)] as a catalyst, primary and secondary alcohols were oxidized to aldehydes and ketones at room temperature with a satisfactory yield and excellent selectivity. The influence of various reaction parameters, such as solvent, catalyst and oxidant amount on both the activity and selectivity was also evaluated. Kinetic studies showed that the oxidation of alcohol was first order in terms of the substrate and hydrogen peroxide, and was second order in terms of the catalyst. A plausible mechanism involving ruthenium-oxo species with electrophilic character was proposed based on the in situ UV-vis spectroscopy studies and Hammett plots.
