Abstract

The first example of a homogeneous gold (III)-catalysed epoxidation of aromatic alkenes at room temperature using sodium chlorite as the stoichiometric oxidant in a homogeneous trisolvent system of 2-methoxyethanol/acetonitrile/water (volume ratio: 1/3/1) is reported. A radical-trapping experiment suggested that the reaction might proceed via a radical pathway.
