Abstract

Manganese-catalyzed epoxidation of alkenes are of great current interest and many manganese complexes have been demonstrated to be active catalysts. 1–7 For example, [Mn(MCP)(CF 3 SO 3 ) 2 ] 2 (MCP = N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)cyclohexane-trans-1,2-diamine ) and [Mn(bipy) 2 (CF 3 SO 3 ) 2 ] 3 (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) reported by Stack, [Mn( H,Me PyTACN)(CF 3 SO 3 ) 2 ] 4,5 ( H,Me PyTACN = 1-(2-pyridyl)-4,7-dimethyl-1,4,7- ...
