A practical method for the multigram scale selective cis-dihydroxylation of electron deficient alkenes such as diethyl fumarate and N-alkyl and N-aryl-maleimides using H2O2 is described. High turnovers (>1000) can be achieved with this efficient manganese based catalyst system, prepared in situ from a manganese salt, pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, a ketone and a base, under ambient conditions. Under optimized conditions, for diethyl fumarate at least 1000 turnovers could be achieved with only 1.5 equiv. of H2O2 with d/l-diethyl tartrate (cis-diol product) as the sole product. For electron rich alkenes, such as cis-cyclooctene, this catalyst provides for efficient epoxidation.

Diethoxytriphenylphosphorane, Ph3P(OEt)2, prepared by reaction of triphenylphosphine and diethyl peroxide, is a "hydrolytically active" dioxyphosphorane which promotes mild cyclodehydration (40-110 deg C) of diols to cyclic ethers in neutral media.The regioselectivity in the closure of (S)-(+)-propane-1,2-diol and (R)-(-)-pentane-1,4-diol with Ph3P(OEt)2 is high (81-82 percent) while the cyclodehydration of (S)-(+)-phenylethane-1,2-diol gives racemized (+/-)-styrene oxide.Simple 1,2-, 1,4-, and 1,5-diols afford good yields of the cyclic ethers but 1,3-propanediol and 1,6-hexanediol give mainly 3-ethoxy-1-propanol and 6-ethoxy-1-hexanol, respectively with Ph3P(OEt)2.Tri- and tetra-substituted 1,2-diols afford the relatively stable 1,3,2-dioxaphospholanes (or ?-dioxyphosphoranes) in the presence of Ph3P(OEt)2, and, depending on conditions, the 1,3,2-dioxaphospholanes are selectively converted to epoxides, ketones or allylic alcohols.The carbonyl compounds arise from 1,2-hydride and 1,2-methyl migrations; the allylic alcohols are derived from thermolytic eliminations. trans-1,2-Cyclohexanediols afford essentially quantitative yields (>95 percent) of the cyclohexene oxides while cis-1,2-cyclohexanediol gives the stable 1,3,2-dioxaphospholane with Ph3P(OEt)2 which decomposes under thermal conditions to cyclohexanone (90 percent).Ph3P(OEt)2 is extremely useful for conversion of "sensitive" 1,2-diols to acidic and /or thermally labile epoxides as demonstrated by the quantitative conversion of 9,10-dihydro-trans-9,10-phenanthrenediol to 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene oxide and 2α,10-pinanediol to 2α,10-epoxypinane.
Desamination of β- and γ-Amino Alcohols

Nitrous acid deaminations of the β-amino alcohols 2 and 12 afford 1,2 diols as well as ketones by pinacolic rearrangement.Both types of products arise with predominant inversion of configuration.Stereochemical studies and isotopic labeling reveal that formation of the diols involves an oxygen shift, presumably via oxirane intermediates.Deamination of the γ-amino alcohol 37 induces, in part, sequential rearrangements to give products also obtained from 12, but in different proportions and enantiomeric purities.Conformational control provides a reasonable explanation of our results.
