A simple asymmetric epoxidation method is developed to effectively synthesize chiral α-carbonyl epoxides through an amine-thiourea dual activation catalysis. In this method, TBHP, as an oxidant, determined the reaction rate, and the chiral amine-thiourea catalyst effectively controlled the stereoselectivity of the reaction, and KOH promoted deprotonation. 22 examples of α,β-unsaturated ketones with various substituent groups are smoothly converted into α-carbonyl epoxides with moderate to excellent enantiomeric excess.

An aerobic photoepoxidation of α,β-unsaturated ketones driven by visible light in the presence of tetramethylguanidine (3b), tetraphenylporphine (H2TPP), and molecular oxygen under mild conditions was revealed. The corresponding α,β-epoxy ketones were obtained in yields of up to 94% in 96 h. The reaction time was shortened to 4.6 h by flow synthesis. The mechanism related to singlet oxygen was supported by experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

Reported here for the first time are the generation of monocarbonyliodonium ylides and their alkylidene-transfer reactions to aldehydes yielding α,β-epoxy ketones. Exposure of (Z)-(2-acetoxy-1-decenyl)iodonium bromide, prepared stereoselectively by sodium acetate-catalyzed Michael addition of acetic acid to (1-decynyl)(phenyl)iodonium salt, to EtOLi in THF at -78°C results in ester exchange to generate the monocarbonyliodonium ylide with the liberation of ethyl acetate. 1H NMR measurements indicate that the ylide is stable up to -30°C in THF-d8 but gradually decomposes at -20°C to 1-bromo-2-decanone. The monocarbonyliodonium ylide acts as an alkylidene-transfer agent to carbonyl compounds, and the reaction with aldehydes in THF-DMSO at -30°C gives α,β-epoxy ketones with E-isomers as a major product. With an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde, selective 1,2-addition to the carbonyl group was observed. The relative rates of the alkylidene-transfer reaction of this ylide for a series of ring-substituted benzaldehydes were measured. A Hammett correlation plot with the σ constants of substituents afforded the reaction constant ρ = 2.95 (r = 1.00), which indicates that the monocarbonyliodonium ylide is moderately nucleophilic in nature.
