Mechanistic insights into β-oxygen atom transfer in olefin epoxidation mediated by W(VI) complexes and H2O2.

چکیده
A DFT investigation of the olefin epoxidation mechanism catalysed by the [Cp*WO(OH)(2)](+) complex with H(2)O(2) reveals that the outer sphere transfer of the hydroperoxido O(β) atom to the olefin is considerably more favourable than that of the hydroperoxido O(α) atom. The reasons for this unusual pathway are discussed.

Mechanistic Investigation into Olefin Epoxidation with H2O2 Catalyzed by Aqua‐Coordinated Sandwich‐Type Polyoxometalates: Role of the Noble Metal and Active Oxygen Position
Aqua-coordinated sandwich-type polyoxometalates (POMs), {[WZnTM2(H2O)2](ZnW9O34)2} n- (TM=RhIII, PdII, and PtII), catalyze olefin epoxidation with hydrogen peroxide and have been well established, and they present an advance toward the utilization of olefins. To elucidate the epoxidation mechanism, we systematically performed density functional calculations. The reaction proceeds through a two-...
متن کاملROLE OF Mn(TPP)Cl IN THE EPOXIDATION WITH SINGLET OXYGEN
Mn(TPP)Cl catalyzes cooxidation of olefin in the singlet oxygenation of sulfid. Mn(TPP)Cl is able to transfer an oxygen atom from a peroxidic intermediate generated in singlet oxygenation of sulfide to a metal ion affording metal 0x0 species which is responsible for epoxidation. This system leads to allcenes epoxidation such as styrene and cyclooctene. Epoxidation of cyclohexene produces cy...
متن کاملActivation of hydrogen peroxide by ionic liquids: mechanistic studies and application in the epoxidation of olefins.
Imidazolium-based ionic liquids that contain perrhenate anions are very efficient reaction media for the epoxidation of olefins with H2O2 as an oxidant, thus affording cyclooctene in almost quantitative yields. The mechanism of this reaction does not follow the usual pathway through peroxo complexes, as is the case with long-known molecular transition-metal catalysts. By using in situ Raman, FT...
متن کاملMononuclear Nonheme High-Spin Iron(III)-Acylperoxo Complexes in Olefin Epoxidation and Alkane Hydroxylation Reactions.
Mononuclear nonheme high-spin iron(III)-acylperoxo complexes bearing an N-methylated cyclam ligand were synthesized, spectroscopically characterized, and investigated in olefin epoxidation and alkane hydroxylation reactions. In the epoxidation of olefins, epoxides were yielded as the major products with high stereo-, chemo-, and enantioselectivities; cis- and trans-stilbenes were oxidized to ci...
