Abstract

Abstract: The photooxygenation of olefins in the presence of transition-metal complexes derived from Ti, V, and Mo constitutes a convenient and efficient" one-pot" synthesis of epoxy alcohols. First, singlet oxygen transforms the olefin via an ene reaction into its allylic hydroperoxide, and subsequently, the allylic hydroperoxide is converted via transition-metal- catalyzed oxygen transfer into its epoxy alcohol. From the point of view of the olefinic ...
