Oxovanadium(IV) Complex Catalyzed Oxygenation of α,β-Unsaturated Carboxamide into 2,3-Epoxycarboxamide with Molecular Oxygen and an Aldehyde

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1991.941

In the presence of a catalytic amount of bis(1,3-diketonato)oxovanadium(IV) complex, epoxidation of α,β-unsaturated carboxamides with molecular oxygen and an aldehyde proceeds smoothly at room temperature to give the corresponding 2,3-epoxycarboxamides in
