Seminormal-BrCH2CH2OH-mediated electrochemical epoxidation of unactivated olefins

An electrochemical epoxidation of unactivated olefins using water as the source of oxygen atoms has been developed. The epoxidation reaction employs seminormal-BrCH2CH2OH as the mediator, which shows good functional group compatibility, and can easily be performed on the gram scale. A wide range of...

Summary:An electrochemical epoxidation of unactivated olefins using water as the source of oxygen atoms has been developed. The epoxidation reaction employs seminormal-BrCH2CH2OH as the mediator, which shows good functional group compatibility, and can easily be performed on the gram scale. A wide range of unactivated olefins could be tolerated to give the functionalized epoxides with satisfactory results at room temperature.
