Abstract

The chiral Co (II) MOF [Co (l-RR)(H2O)· H2O]∞[1; l-RR=(R, R)-thiazolidine-2, 4- dicarboxylate] has been exploited in the catalytic oxidation of different alkenes (cyclohexene,(Z)-cyclooctene, 1-octene) using either tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t BuOOH) or molecular oxygen (O2) as oxidants. Different chemoselectivities are observed, both substrate-and oxidant-dependent. A moderate enantioselectivity is also obtained in the ...
