Asymmetric synthesis with cheaper and non-toxic alkaline earth metal catalysts is becoming an important and sustainable alternative to conventional catalytic methodologies mostly relying on precious metals. In spite of some sustainable methods for enantioselective epoxidation of enones, the development of a well-defined and efficient catalyst based on magnesium complexes for these reactions is still a challenging task. In this perspective, we present the application of chiral dinuclear magnesium complexes for asymmetric epoxidation of a broad range of electron-deficient enones. We demonstrate that the in situ generated magnesium-ProPhenol complex affords enantioenriched oxiranes in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Our extensive study verifies the literature data in this area and provides a step forward to better understand the factors controlling the oxygenation process. Elaborated catalyst offers mild reaction conditions and a truly wide substrate scope. (Figure presented.).

The catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of α,β-unsaturated ketones by tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) has been well established using rare-earth metal amides RE[N(SiMe3)2]3 (RE = La(1), Nd(2), Sm(3), Y(4), Yb(5)) with chiral TADDOL ligands. It was found that

The synthesis of diverse pyrazol-4-ol and isoxazole-4-ol heterocycles involving only 3 reaction steps is reported in this study. However, the synthesis of carboxamide pyrazol-4-ol has failed in the conditions used in the synthesis, acid methanol solution. The carboxamide pyrazol-4-ol decomposes via dehydration, forming the respective pyrazol. Theoretical calculations were used to elucidate the dehydration reaction. We have found a mechanism for acid-catalyzed dehydration that can explain the experimental observations. The calculated free energy profile for acid-catalyzed dehydration of the carboxamide pyrazol-4-ol and phenylpyrazole-4-ol point out that the latter is more stable in relation dehydration, with a dehydration rate 100 times smaller in acid methanol solution.

New xylal- and arabinal-based monoaza-15-crown-5 ethers were synthesized starting from l- and d-xylose, and l- and d-arabinose, respectively. These monosaccharide-based chiral macrocycles were tested as phase transfer catalysts in a few asymmetric reactions. The xylal-based crown compounds proved to be efficient catalysts in a few liquid-liquid phase reactions. The epoxidation of trans-chalcone and the Darzens condensation of α-chloroacetophenone with benzaldehyde took place with complete diastereoselectivity and up to 77% ee and 58% ee, respectively. It was found that the substituents in the aromatic ring of the chalcone and the α-chloroacetophenone had an influence on the enantioselectivity. The highest ee values were obtained in the epoxidation of 4-chlorochalcone (81% ee) and in the reaction of a 2-naphthyl analogue (96% ee), while in the Darzens condensation of 4-phenyl-α-chloroacetophenone with benzaldehyde, a maximum ee of 91% was detected. The configuration of the monosaccharide unit in the crown ring influenced the absolute configuration of the epoxyketones synthesized.

An organocatalyzed enantioselective γ-elimination process has been achieved and applied in the kinetic resolution of peroxides to access chiral peroxides and epoxides. The reaction provided a pathway for the preparation of two useful synthetic and biologically important structural motifs through a single-step reaction. A range of substrates has been resolved with a selectivity factor up to 63. The obtained enantioenriched peroxides and epoxides allowed a series of transformations with retained optical purities.
