Epoxidation of alkenes using dioxygen in the presence of an alcohol catalyzed by N-hydroxyphthalimide and hexafluoroacetone without any metal catalyst

Abstract

A new approach for the epoxidation of alkenes using O₂ without any metal catalyst was developed; a variety of alkenes were epoxidized in a regio- and stereoselective manner with O₂ in the presence of benzhydrol catalyzed by N-hydroxyphthalimide and hexafluoroacetone.
