Abstract

1, 4-Epiperoxides (endoperoxides) have become increasingly significant as synthetic'and biosynthetic intermediates. 2 Since the Fe (I1)-induced decomposition provides a chemical model for prostaglandin (PG) biosynthesis, extensive studies have been done on the behavior of various epiperoxides in the presence of Fe (1I) salt^.^-^ We have been intrigued by the catalytic reaction with Ru (I1)-tertiary phosphine complexes. The central metal is a ...
