The organocatalytic epoxidation of unactivated alkenes using aqueous hydrogen peroxide provides various indispensable products and intermediates in a sustainable manner. While formyl functionalities typically undergo irreversible oxidations when activating an oxidant, an atropisomeric two-axis aldehyde capable of catalytic turnover was identified for high-yielding epoxidations of cyclic and acyclic alkenes. The relative configuration of the stereogenic axes of the catalyst and the resulting proximity of the aldehyde and backbone residues resulted in high catalytic efficiencies. Mechanistic studies support a non-radical alkene oxidation by an aldehyde-derived dioxirane intermediate generated from hydrogen peroxide through the Payne and Criegee intermediates.

In this current paper, we report a new type of heterogeneous molybdenum (+6) complex, prepared by covalent grafting of cis-dioxo?molybdenum (VI) pyridylimine complex on the surface of MnFe2O4 nanoparticles (NP) and characterized using various physicochemical techniques. The recyclable prepared nanocatalyst was tested for sulfoxidation of sulfides and epoxidation of alkenes under solvent-free condition. The catalyst exhibited high turnover frequency for the oxidization of cyclooctene and cyclohexene (10,850 h?1) and thioanisole and dimethyl sulfide (41,250 h?1). The synthesized catalyst was found highly efficient, retrievable and eco-friendly catalyst for the (ep)oxidation of alkenes and sulfides in excellent yields in a short time. Furthermore, the synthesized nanocatalyst can be reused for four runs without apparent loss of its catalytic activity in the oxidation reaction.
