Over the past two decades, there have been major developments in the transition iron-catalyzed selective oxidation of alkenes to epoxides; a common structure found in drug, isolated natural products, and fine chemicals. Many of these approaches have enabled highly efficient and selective epoxidation of alkenes via the design of specialized ligands, which facilitates to control the activity and selectivity of the reactions catalyzed by iron atom. Herein, we report the development of the olefin epoxidation with inorganic-ligand supported iron-catalysts using 30% H2O2 as an oxidant, and the mechanism is similar to iron-porphyrin type. With the catalyst 1, (NH4)3[FeMo6O18(OH)6], various aromatic and aliphatic alkenes were successfully transformed into the corresponding epoxides with excellent yields as well as chemo- and stereo-selectivity. This catalytic system possesses the advantages of being able to avoid the use of expensive, toxic, air/moisture sensitive and commercially unavailable organic ligands. The generality of this methodology is simple to operate and exhibits high catalytic activity as well as excellent stability, which gives it the potential to be used on an industrial scale, and maybe opens a way for the catalytic oxidation reaction via inorganic-ligand coordinated iron catalysis.
Asymmetric Epoxidation of Unfunctionalized Olefins Using Novel Chiral Dihydroisoquinolinium Salts as Organocatalysts
Ali, K. Ben
, p. 638 - 646 (2021/06/02)
Abstract: Two new non-racemic chiral dihydroisoquinolinium salts with N-substituents bulkier than a methyl group have been synthesized from (1S,2R)-norephedrine. These salts were used to catalyze asymmetric epoxidation of a series of prochiral olefins. One of the two new catalysts provided higher enantioselectivities (up to 66% ee) than the reference salt containing an N-methyl substituent.

A commercial cyclopentadienylrutenium dicarbonyl dimer ([CpRu(CO)2]2) efficiently catalyzes the formation of N-H imines and carbonyl compounds simultaneously from β-hydroxy azides via C-C bond cleavage under visible light. Density functional theory calculations for the cleavage reaction support the mechanism involving chelation of alkoxy azide species and liberation of nitrogen as the driving force. The synthetic utility of the reaction was demonstrated by a new amine synthesis promoted by chemoselective allylation of imine and synthesis of isoquinoline.

The isomerization of epoxides to aldehydes using the readily available Crabtree's reagent is described. The aldehydes were transformed into synthetically useful amines by a one-pot reductive amination using pyrrolidine as imine-formation catalyst. The reactions worked with low catalyst loadings in very mild conditions. The procedure is operationally simple and tolerates a wide range of functional groups. A DFT study of its mechanism is presented showing that the isomerization takes place via an iridium hydride mechanism with a low energy barrier, in agreement with the mild reaction conditions.

A highly reactive and selective catalytic system comprising Fe(III) and macrocyclic pyridine-containing ligands (Pc-L) for alkene oxidation by using hydrogen peroxide is reported herein. Four new stable iron(III) complexes have been isolated and characterized. Importantly, depending on the anion of the iron(III) metal complex employed as catalyst, a completely reversed selectivity was observed. When X=OTf, a selective dihydroxylation reaction took place. On the other hand, employing X=Cl resulted in the epoxide as the major product. The reaction proved to be quite general, tolerating aromatic and aliphatic alkenes as well as internal or terminal double bonds and both epoxides and diol products were obtained in good yields with good to excellent selectivities (up to 93 % isolated yield and d.r.=99 : 1). The catalytic system proved its robustness by performing several catalytic cycles, without observing catalyst deactivation. The use of acetone as a solvent and hydrogen peroxide as terminal oxidant renders this catalytic system appealing.

Formation of epoxides and N-arylaziridines via a simple Mg-Barbier reaction in DMF

The Mg-activation of benzal bromide 2b in DMF in the presence of carbonyl compounds 1 or imines 4 leads to epoxides 3 and N-arylaziridines 5, respectively, with acceptable isolated yields. It was found that DMF is likely involved in this process to form a nucleophilic intermediate by reaction with a first generated electrophilic carbene. Results obtained in this chemical approach are compared to those obtained using electrochemical activation, also in DMF.

Epoxides have been obtained from alde-hydes and phenyldiazomethane using catalytic amounts of both the copper homoscorpionate com-plexes Tp xCuL (Tpx = homoscorpionate ligand; L = acetonitrile or tetrahydrofuran, THF) and dimethyl sulfide (SMe2) in high yields and diasteroselectivities, and with activities higher (TOF = 46 h-1) than those already known with rhodium-or copper-based cata-lysts. Among the copper(I) homoscorpionate com-plexes tested, TpBr3Cu(NCCH 3) showed the highest catalytic activity under mild conditions. The catalytic activity is controlled by electronic effects induced by the Tp x ligand as well as by the stability of the TpxCu(SR 2) adducts. Indeed, in the case of TpMs as ligand, the TpMsCu(THT) (THT = tetrahydrothio-phene) and Tp MsCu(SMe2) species could be isolated as very stable crystalline solids, the molecular struc-ture of the former being confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The in situ generation of PhCHN 2 from benzaldehyde tosylhydrazone sodium salt at 60 °C in methyl tert-butyl ether as solvent and TpMsCu(THF) as the catalyst also showed high cata-lytic activities, improving those already reported with copper-based catalysts.
