An iron complex with a C1-symmetric tetradentate N-based ligand catalyzes the asymmetric epoxidation of cyclic enones and cyclohexene ketones with aqueous hydrogen peroxide, providing the corresponding epoxides in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield, and 95% ee), under mild conditions and in short reaction times. Evidence is provided that reactions involve an electrophilic oxidant, and this element is employed in performing site selective epoxidation of enones containing two alkene sites.

It was found that acylation of a variety of aliphatic olefins with acid chlorides is efficiently promoted by active zinc compounds, which were prepared from a Zn/Cu couple and alkyl iodides.The crude product mixtures were subsequently treated with 1 M KOH in methanol or were subjected to catalytic hydrogenation to afford the corresponding α,β-unsaturated or saturated ketones in good to moderate yields.It was also shown that the reaction fully follows the Markovnikov rule.
