Mechanistic insights in the olefin epoxidation with cyclohexyl hydroperoxide

Abstract: Olefin epoxidation with cyclohexyl hydroperoxide offers great perspective in increasing the yield from industrial cyclohexane oxidation and the production of epoxides in an apolar medium. Two competing hydroperoxide conversion routes, namely direct epoxidation and thermal decomposition, were identified. The formation of radicals seemed to play a role in both mechanisms. However, olefin epoxidation was found to solely take place at the catalyst. Allylic oxidation of cyclohexene occurs under reaction conditions … Show more

“…These results suggest a reaction mechanism similar to that reported by Tonigold et al, who investigated the selective oxidation of cyclohexene under solvent-free conditions . It is assumed that the remaining 23% of selectivity corresponds to the formation of higher molecular weight products, such as oligomers of cyclohexene . In comparison to Cu 3 (BTC) 2 the conversion of cyclohexene and TBHP over 1 Cu as well as the turnover frequency (TOF) are twice as high (Figure , Table ).…”

“…As shown in Scheme 1 and reported by several authors, [35][36][37][38][39][40][41] the main oxidation products of cyclohexene are (I) cyclohexane oxide, (II) cyclohexane-1,2-diol, (III) 3-hydroperoxycyclohex-1-ene, (IV) cyclohexenol and (V) cyclohexenone. According to Weiner et al, selectivity of the above cited products varies with the catalyst, oxidant, temperature, time, pressure and solvent so on and so forth.…”

“…Epoxidation of alkenes as a fundamental reaction in organic synthesis provides oxirane (epoxide) compounds that are considered as useful synthetic intermediates in the production of epoxy resins, perfumes, plasticizers, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc. [1][2][3][4]; but their production involves high consumption of energy, lack of selectivity and environmental concerns [5,6]. So, finding a highly selective method is in demand for the preparation of such materials.…”
