Non-heme iron catalysis in CC, C-H, and CH2 oxidation reactions. Oxidative transformations on terpenoids catalyzed by Fe(bpmen)(OTf)2

The oxidation of terpene olefins with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of the non-hemo catalyst 5a afforded mixtures of epoxides whose composition was dependent upon the oxidation protocol used in each case. With terpenoid enones, the mixtures obtained evolved from clean epoxidation of α-ionone 23 to the clean allylic oxidation of damascone 28 due to the progressive deactivation of the electron density on the double bonds present in this series. The oxidation of bicyclic and tricyclic terpenoids afforded oxidation products coming from epoxidation, to olefin degradation, methyne and methylene activation products. Probably, the most attractive result was the synthesis of the Magnus lactone 46, from the tricyclic ether 45, with 88% yield and 100% conversion.

The Oxidation of 1,8-Cineole by Pseudomonas flava

Growth experiments of Pseudomonas flava, with cineole and various metabolites of cineole as the sole carbon and energy sources, yielded results which require alterations to a scheme by which P. flava is proposed to utilize these compounds.The optical purity of the metabolites obtained from achiral cineole has been reinvestigated.

Selectivity and Reactivity in Some Oxidations with Pentavalent and Hexavalent Chromium Reagents: A Short Synthesis of Norbisabolide

Selective oxidative cyclization of the t-hydroxyolefin (5) with pyridinium chlorochromate leads to a simple synthesis of norbisabolide (4).On the other hand, α-terpineol (7) on treatment with chromium(V) reagent undergoes facile oxidative cleavage followed by cyclization to give homoterpenyl methyl ketone (8).
