New molybdenum complexes of the type [CpMo(CO)3X] containing ligands of the formula X = CHR2CO(OR1) where R1 = ethyl (1), menthyl (4), and bornyl (5) and R2 = H; R1 = ethyl and R2 = methyl (2) and phenyl (3) have been synthesized and characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. These compounds have been applied as catalyst precursors for achiral and chiral epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant at 22 °C (in CH2Cl2) and 55°C (in CHCl3). The substrates cis-cyclooctene, 1-octene, cis- and trans-stilbene, and trans-β-methylstyrene were selectively and quantitatively converted into their epoxides using a catalyst:substrate:oxidant ratio of 1:100:200 within 4 h at room temperature in CH2Cl2 and within 15 min at 55°C in CHCl3. Complexes 1-5 are precursors of active epoxidation catalysts and turnover frequencies (TOFs) of ca. 1200 h-1 are obtained with cis-cyclooctene as the substrate. No enantioselectivity is observed with trans-β-methylstyrene as the substrate despite the application of enantiomerically pure precatalysts. In situ monitoring of catalytic epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene with complex 5 by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy suggests that the chiral alkyl ester side chain is retained during oxidation with TBHP. During epoxidation, the primary catalytic species is the dioxo complex [CpMoO2X]. After near complete conversion of cis-cyclooctene to its epoxide, further oxidation of the dioxo complex to oxo-peroxo complex [CpMo(η2-O2)(O)X] takes place. The oxo-peroxo complex is also an active epoxidation catalyst.

Optically active 1-aromatic-group-substituted-1-alkanones and methods for their manufacture
-
, (2008/06/13)
A manufacturing method is described for the preparation of optically active 1-aromatic-group-substituted-1-alkanones characterized in that an optically active alkane acid halide is allowed to react with an aromatic compound in the presence of a Lewis acid. The optically active 1-aromatic-group-substituted-1-alkanones are useful intermediates in the preparation of optically active alpha-arylalkanoic acids, which are useful as pharmaceutical, e.g. anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-pyretic, agents and as insecticidal agents.
