Magnetite iron oxide (Fe3O4) has been found to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the epoxidation of alkenes by molecular oxygen in the absence of a sacrificial reductant among various transition metal oxides. The reaction probably proceeds via a radical mechanism.

The potential of [PAIM][NTf2]/BMIM-ILs as a base/solvent in the Corey-Chaykovsky reaction is demonstrated by the facile synthesis of libraries of functionalized cyclopropanes from enones and oxiranes from aldehydes and ketones, at room temperature in respectable isolated yields. To demonstrate their application, the synthesized epoxides were employed as substrates for the synthesis of a library of 2,3-disubstituted quinolines, using [BMIM(SO3H)][OTf]/[BMIM][PF6] as a catalyst/solvent. The potential for recycling/reuse of the IL solvents was also explored.

A scalable procedure for the direct preparation of epoxides from ketones has been developed. The method is based on the carefully controlled generation of (bromomethyl)lithium (LiCH2Br) from inexpensive CH2Br2 and MeLi in a continuous flow reactor. The reaction has shown excellent selectivity for a variety of substrates, including α-chloroketones, which typically fail under classic Corey-Chaykovsky conditions. This advantage has been used to develop a novel route toward the drug fluconazole.

A one-pot multi-step method for the oxidative cleavage of alkenes to aldehydes/ketones under ambient conditions is described as an alternative to ozonolysis. The first step is a highly efficient manganese catalyzed epoxidation/cis-dihydroxylation of alkenes. This step is followed by an Fe(III) assisted ring opening of the epoxide (where necessary) to a 1,2-diol. Carbon–carbon bond cleavage is achieved by treatment of the diol with sodium periodate. The conditions used in each step are not only compatible with the subsequent step(s), but also provide for increased conversion compared to the equivalent reactions carried out on the isolated intermediate compounds. The described procedure allows for carbon–carbon bond cleavage in the presence of other alkenes, oxidation sensitive moieties and other functional groups; the mild conditions (r.t.) used in all three steps make this a viable general alternative to ozonolysis and especially for use under flow or continuous batch conditions.
