Aniline-terephthalaldehyde resin p-toluenesulfonate (ATRT) as a highly efficient and reusable catalyst for alcoholysis, hydrolysis, and acetolysis of epoxides

Alcoholysis, hydrolysis, and acetolysis of epoxides were carried out in the presence of a catalytic amount of aniline-terephthalaldehyde resin p-toluenesulfonate (ATRT) to give the corresponding β-substituted alcohols in good yields. Alcoholysis and hydrolysis of epoxides catalyzed by ATRT proceeded faster than those by pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (PPTS).

Catalytic activities of dicyanoketene acetals in alcoholysis of epoxides

The catalytic activity of various types of capto-dative ethylenes has been investigated on alcoholysis of epoxides, and dicyanoketene dimethyl acetal (DCKDMA) and dicyanoketene ethylene acetal (DCKEA) are found to be efficient and mild catalysts.

A New Route to Epoxides and Ketones by m-Chloroperbenzoic Acid Oxidation of β-Hydroxyalkyl Phenyl Selenides and Tellurides

Treatment of primary (β-hydroxy)alkyl phenyl selenides with m-chloroperbenzoic acid (3-5 mol equiv.) in tetrahydrofuran or methanol gives the corresponding epoxides in high yield. cis-1-Methylene-4-t-butylcyclohexane oxide is obtained stereospecifically from 4-t-butyl-1-(phenylselenomethyl)cyclohexanol prepared by the addition of α-(phenylseleno)methyl anion to 4-t-butylcyclohexanone.On the other hand, similar oxidation of secondary (β-hydroxy)alkyl phenyl selenides affords the unexpected carboxylic acids or their esters.When a phenyl group is present on the carbon bearing the OH moiety in β-hydroxyselenides and tellurides , the oxidation is accompanied by phenyl migration to afford ketones.The reaction can be applied to one-carbon-homologated ring expansion of the benzene-ring-fused cyclic ketones by combining with the addition of an α-(phenylseleno)methyl or α-(phenyltelluro)methyl moiety to the ketones.
