Pyrrole-proline diketopiperazine (DKP) acts as an efficient mediator for the reduction of dioxygen by Hantzsch ester under mild conditions to allow the aerobic metal-free epoxidation of electron-rich alkenes. Mechanistic crossovers are underlined, explaining the dual role of Hantzsch ester as a reductant/promoter of the DKP catalyst and a simultaneous competitor for the epoxidation of alkenes when HFIP is used as a solvent. Expansion of this protocol to the synthesis of allylic alcohols was achieved by adding a catalytic amount of selenium dioxide as an additive, revealing a superior method to the classical application of t-BuOOH as a selenium dioxide oxidant.

Crystal structures of α-humulene, a cyclic sesquiterpene, and its oxidized subproducts, were analyzed by the crystalline sponge method. Regio- and stereochemistry, including absolute configuration when a chiral oxidant was applied, and the stable conformations of all the scaffold-related compounds were successfully determined for samples on a 5-50 μg scale.
Monoepoxidation of humulene 2,3-epoxide to humulene 2,3;6,7-diepoxides. Observation of the rotation of the double bond plane by 1H NMR spectral analysis and conformation

The reaction of (6E,9E)-humulene 2,3-epoxide (7) with m-CPBA produced two known humulene 2,3;6,7-diepoxides (8 and 9), and careful analysis of the 1H NMR of 7 at various temperatures suggested an equilibrium of four possible conformations, CT,

The treatment of (6E, 9E)-2,3-epoxy-3,7,11,11-tetramethylcycloundeca-6,9-diene with Et2O·BF3 produced four novel transannular cyclized compounds of (4E)-(1S*, 8S*, 9S*)-8-acetoxy-6,6,9-trimethyl-2-methylenebicyclo[7.2.0]undec-4-ene (13), (2Z, 4E)-(1S*, 8S*, 9S*)-8-acetoxy-2,6,6,9-tetramethylbicyclo[7.2.0]undeca-2,4-diene (14), (6E)-(1R*, 2R*, 3S*, 10R*)-3-acetoxy-2,5,5-trimethyl-9-methylenebicyclo[8.1.0]undec-6-ene (15), and (4E)-(1S*, 2S*, 8S*, 9S*)-2,8-diacetoxy-2,6,6,9-tetramethylbicyclo[7.2.0]undec-4-ene (16) together with three new acetates: (2E, 5E, 8E)-1-acetoxy-2, 6,10,10-tetramethylcycloundeca-2,5,8-triene, (1E, 6E)-3,9-diacetoxy-2,5,5,9-tetramethylcycloundeca-1,6-diene, and (4E, 7E)-1-acetoxy-3,3,7-trimethyl-11-methylenecycloundeca-4,7-diene. The configurations of the bicyclo[7.2.0]undecane skeletons (13, 14, and 16) and 15 maintained the shape of TC and CT conformers of the original epoxide, respectively.
