چکیده

N,N'-Diarylureas have been shown to efficiently catalyse sulfonium ylide-mediated aldehyde epoxidation reactions for the first time. These processes are of broad scope and can be coupled with a subsequent Cu(II) ion-catalysed Meinwald rearrangement to give an efficient and convenient protocol for aldehyde homologation without intermediate purification.

An air-stable cationic iridium hydride as a highly active and general catalyst for the isomerization of terminal epoxides.

We describe the use of an air-stable iridium hydride catalyst for the isomerization of terminal epoxides into aldehydes with perfect regioselectivity. The system operates at low loadings of catalyst (0.5 mol%), is highly practical, scalable, and tolerates functional groups that would not be compatible with Lewis acids typically used in stoichiometric amounts. Evidence for a rare hydride mechani...

B-podands as efficient catalysts for the ring opening of epoxides in water: A versatile and atom economical method for the synthesis of vicinal azidoalcohols

For the first time B-podands have been studied as an efficient and powerful catalysts in the ring opening of epoxides with azide anion in water. The reaction afforded the corresponding 1,2-azidoalcohols with high regioselectivity under mild reaction conditions and in a highly atom economic fashion.
