Chiral fluoro ketones for catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes with oxone

Two structurally dissimilar, chiral fluoro ketones have been prepared and their potential as enantioselective catalysts for asymmetric epoxidation with Oxone has been evaluated. The tropinone-based ketone (-)-5 was easily prepared and showed excellent reactivity but only modest enantioselectivity. The biphenyl-based ketone (-)-6 was prepared in a somewhat lengthy synthesis (along with its monofluoro and geminal fluoro analogues). This ketone exhibited only modest reactivity; 30 mol % of (-)-6 was needed to bring about complete conversion in a reasonable time. The enantioselectivity of this catalyst was generally much higher, but again very substrate dependent.
Solvolytic Rearrangements of Azabicyclic Compounds. Part 2. Kinetics

Rates of solvolysis in aqueous ethanol and aqueous dioxan of three 2-exo-chloroazabicycloalkanes have been studied and first-order rare constants are derived and compared with published values for analogous compounds.Anchimeric assistance by the bridge N-atom is evidently not important in the rate-controlling step in these rearrangements, though it may occur to a minor extent in the case of 2-exo-chloro-7-methyl-7-azanorbornane.Solvolytic results for tropan-2β-yl toluene-p-sulphonate in aqueous ethanol and aqueous acetone mixtures are also reported and compared with literature data for the carbobicyclic and oxabicyclic analogues.
