Abstract

The oxidation of terpene olefins with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of the non-hemo catalyst 5a afforded mixtures of epoxides whose composition was dependent upon the oxidation protocol used in each case. With terpenoid enones, the mixtures obtained evolved from clean epoxidation of α-ionone 23 to the clean allylic oxidation of damascone 28 due to the progressive deactivation of the electron density on the double bonds present in this ...
