A simple and efficient method for epoxidation of terminal alkenes
Abstract
The use of a catalytic amount of 3-cyanopyridine in the
methyltrioxorhenium catalysed epoxidation of terminal alkenes with aqueous
hydrogen peroxide speeds turnover, which results in the formation of many
functionalized epoxides in high yields.
