Regioselective epoxidation of different types of double bonds located within the cyclic and acyclic parts of bulky olefins has been investigated using large-pore titanium silicate Ti-β in the presence of dilute aqueous H 2O2 as oxidant under mild liquid-phase conditions. Our experimental results revealed that side-chain vinylic double bonds are selectively epoxidized than those in the cyclohexene-ring. The epoxidation tendency of various bulky olefins with different positional and/or geometric isomers over Ti-β follows the order: terminal -CC- > ring -CC- ≈ bicyclic ring -CC- > allylic C - H bond. Unlike 4-vinyl-1-cyclohexene, epoxidation of an equimolar mixture of cyclohexene and 1-hexene under identical conditions using Ti-β exhibits completely different selectivity and product distributions. Steric factor and accessibility of reactants to active Ti-sites are responsible for the observed regioselectivity of bulky alkenes.

In connection with the studies on biological activities on myrmicacin and related compounds, the synthetic method for 2-hydroxyalkanoic acids and the corresponding 1,2-diols was studied.The addition reaction of tris(methylthio)methyllithium to the aldehydes (propanal-dodecanal) gave the corresponding 1,1,-tris(methylthio)-2-alkanols 1a-j.Treatment of 1 with mercury(II) chloride-mercury(II) oxide in water-acetone afforded S-methyl 2-hydroxyalkanethioates 2a-j, and in methanol methyl 2-hydroxyalkanoates 3c-j were obtained.Reduction of the thioates 2 with lithium aluminium hydride gave 1,2-diols 4c-j and saponification produced the corresponding 2-hydroxyalkanoic acids 5c-j.
