Abstract

Olefins were smoothly epoxidized under O2 (1 atm) in the presence of a hydrocarbon such as ethylbenzene or tetralin, using N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) and Mo(CO)6 as catalyst; the present reaction involves autoxidation of the hydrocarbon assisted by NHPI and epoxidation of alkenes with the resulting hydroperoxide catalyzed by Mo(CO)6; cis-alkene was epoxidized in a stereospecific manner to form the corresponding cis-epoxide in high yield.
