Abstract

Terpenes are cheap and often chiral precursors to fragrances, flavors, drugs, and agrochemicals. 1 Oxyfunctionalization of terpenes frequently starts with a selective epoxidation. 2 Although catalytic epoxidation is nowadays dominant for many commodities and fine chemicals, the synthesis of the major terpene epoxide, R-pinene oxide, still employs the stoichiometric peracid route. 3, 4 In designing a catalytic alternative, H2O2 is ...
