Abstract

The cationic complex MnIII (Salen) is a very effective catalyst for the oxidation of bothα- andβ-pinene. The higher selectivity towards epoxide formation supports the rebound oxygen mechanism. A turnover of 40 was obtained for both compounds after 16 h of reaction with a molar ratio 1∶0.01∶1 (feedstock: catalyst: iodosobenzene) and conversions between 50 and 60% were observed. A very high selectivity (55%) was determined for epoxide formation from α-pinene. The good selectivity observed for myrtanal isomers (6.5 and 23.2%) fromβ-pinene is related to the prior formation of the 1,2-epoxides.
