Acceleration of Oxone(R) epoxidation of alkenes by several a-functionalised ketones, including alpha-amido ketones, is investigated. In general, competing decomposition by Baeyer-Villiger reaction prevents use of the ketones as efficient epoxidation promoters. However, a novel oxazolidinone-derived ketone provides epoxides with moderate enantioselectivity (up to 34% ee). (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
