Epoxidation <i>vs.</i> dehydrogenation of allylic alcohols: heterogenization of the VO(acac)<sub>2</sub> catalyst in a metal–organic framework

The catalytic epoxidation of small alkenes and allylic alcohols includes a wide range of valuable chemical applications, with many works describing vanadium complexes as suitable catalysts towards sustainable process chemistry. But, given the complexity of these mechanisms, it is not always easy to sort out efficient examples for streamlining sustainable processes and tuning product optimization. In this review, we provide an update on major works of tunable vanadium-catalyzed epoxidations, with a focus on sustainable optimization routes. After presenting the current mechanistic view on vanadium catalysts for small alkenes and allylic alcohols’ epoxidation, we argue the key challenges in green process development by highlighting the value of updated kinetic and mechanistic studies, along with essential computational studies.

Epoxidation vs. dehydrogenation of allylic alcohols: heterogenization of the VO(acac)₂ catalyst in a metal–organic framework

Abstract: Allylic alcohol epoxidation and dehydrogenation reactivity is distinguished when VO(acac)2 is used in solution or anchored in a metal organic framework (MOF). The chemical mechanism depends on the electronic profile...
