Abstract

The vast majority of organic compounds contain oxygenated functionalities. One of the main pathways for the introduction of oxygen into organic molecules is via the epoxidation of carbon–carbon double bonds. Thus, olefin epoxidation constitutes a central transformation in organic chemistry and one of the main routes to access epoxides on both a laboratory and an industrial scale.

    Indeed, in certain circumstances, hydrogen peroxide is even better than oxygen insofar as oxygen-organic mixtures are prone to spontaneous ignition.

  2. 2.

    [bis(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)amine (10) • (R)-TRIP (7a)].
