We unexpectedly discovered that aldehydes could serve as catalyst precursors for the epoxidation of beta-ionone, resulting in a 83% yield of 5,6-epoxy-beta-ionone. Notably, this reaction took place in water and utilized molecular oxygen (O-2) as a mild, inexpensive, and safe oxidant. To the best of our knowledge, this aerobic epoxidation in water represents a novel reaction, potentially opening up new possibilities for the development of green oxidation methods.
We surprisingly found that aldehydes could be employed as catalyst precursors for the epoxidation reaction of beta-ionone to produce 5,6-epoxy-beta-ionone in as high as 83% yield. Notably, the reaction was performed in water and molecular oxygen (O-2) was employed as the mild, cheap and safe oxidant. To the best of our knowledge, this aerobic epoxidation in water is a novel reaction, and it may provide additional opportunities for green oxidation method development.
