Co(III)−Alkyl Complex- and Co(III)−Alkylperoxo Complex-Catalyzed Triethylsilylperoxidation of Alkenes with Molecular Oxygen and Triethylsilane
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]Both a Co(III)-alkyl complex and a Co(III)-alkylperoxo complex were found to catalyze triethylsilylperoxidation of alkenes with O-2 and Et3SiH. On this basis, together with the nonstereoselectivity in the Co(II)-catalyzed peroxidation of 3-phenylindene and the formation of the corresponding 1,2-dioxolane from 2-phenyl-1-vinylcyclopropane (a radical clock), we propose a reasonable mechanism for the Co(II)-catalyzed novel autoxidation of alkenes with Et3SiH discovered by Isayama and Mukaiyama.
