The reaction of peroxotungstates (H2WO4 + H 2O2) with H2SeO4 gave the novel seleniumcontaining dlnuclear tungsten species, (TBA)2[SeO 4{WO(O2)2}2] (I, TBA = [(n-C 4H9)4N]+), which was characterized by elemental analysis, IR, Raman, UV-vls, 77Se NMR, 183W NMR, and CSI-MS. Various kinds of homoallyllc and allyllc alcohols were efficiently epoxldlzed to the corresponding epoxy alcohols In high yields with 1 equlv. H2O2 with respect to thesubstrates. Compound I showed the highest catalytic activity for H 2O2-based epoxldatlon of homoallyllc and allyllc alcohols among selenium and tungsten complexes. The turnover frequency reachedup to 150 h-1 In a 10 mmol-scale epoxldatlon of c/s-3-hexen1 -ol and this value was the highest among those reported for the translt lon-metal catalyzed epoxldatlon of homoallyllc alcohols with H2O2. The kinetic, mechanistic, computational studies showed that the stabilization of the transition-state by the hydrogen bonding between I and the substrates results In the high reactivity for the l-catalyzed epoxldatlon of homoallyllc and allyllc alcohols. The nature of the hetero atoms In the dland tetranuclear peroxotungstates with XO 4n- ligands (X = As(V), P(V), S(VI), SI(IV), etc.) was crucial In controlling the Lewis acidity of the peroxotungstates, which significantly affects their electrophlllc oxygen transfer reactivity. Allthe data of the structural, kinetic, spectroscopic, and computational c omparison show that the dlmerlc peroxotungstate unit, {WO(O2)2} 2, In I Is activated by the SeO42- ligand.
Diastereoselective episulfidation of strained cyclic alkenes by a thiophene endoperoxide versus epoxidation by dimethyldioxirane

Thiophene endoperoxide 2, which was prepared by photooxygenation of thiophene 1, transfers a sulfur atom (up to 92%) to strained cycloalkenes to form thiiranes when thermolyzed in their presence. The diastereomeric pair cis/trans-cyclooctene (5b) reacted stereoselectively, which speaks for a concerted process rather than open dipolar and/or diradical intermediates. The set of chiral cyclooctenols 5c-e was also investigated, and the relative configurations of the respective thiiranes were assigned by chemical correlation and NMR spectral and X-ray analysis. The first-order kinetics of the process clearly shows that the endoperoxide 2 itself is not the sulfur- transferring species, but it is thermally transformed to the intermediates I and II. Whereas intermediate II is responsible for the competitive formation of elemental sulfur, intermediate I, presumably an oxathiirane, is the active sulfur-transferring species. The episulfidation was compared with the epoxidation by the related dimethyldioxirane, and both show the same qualitative trends in the diastereoslectivity and the reactivity toward the alkenes 5a-e.
