Abstract

Cyclic seleninate esters serve as catalysts for the rapid oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides, alkenes to epoxides, and enamines to α-hydroxyketones. Optimal conditions were found that minimize the overoxidation of the product sulfoxides to sulfones and the hydrolysis of epoxides to diols. In some examples such as styrene derivatives, oxidative cleavage was observed instead of epoxidation. The enamine oxidations proceed via the initial formation ...
