Abstract
Highly diastereoselective epoxidations of allyl-substituted cycloalkenes including allylic alcohols, esters, and amines using sterically bulky metalloporphyrins [Mn(TDCPP)Cl] (1) and [Ru(TDCPP)CO] (2) as catalysts have been achieved. The "1 + H2O2" and "2 + 2,6-Cl2pyNO" protocols afforded trans-epoxides selectively in good yields (up to 99%) with up to >99:1 trans-selectivity.
