Epoxidations monoperoxysulfate

The simplest model compound is cyclohexene oxide III. Monomers IV, V and VII represent different aspects of the ester portion of I, while monomers VII and VIII reflect aspects of both the monomer I and the polymer which is formed by cationic ring-opening polymerization. Monomers IV-VII were prepared using a phase transfer catalyzed epoxidation based on the method of Venturello and D Aloisio (6) and employed previously in this laboratory (7). This method was not effective for the preparation of monomer VIII. In this specific case (equation 4), epoxidation using Oxone (potassium monoperoxysulfate) was employed.

Dimethyldioxirane has also been used as the epoxidizing agent in a key step in the synthesis of A-norsteroids69,70. The reaction occurs in dichloromethane-acetone and is highly regio- and stereoselective as shown in equation 9. Dioxiranes may also be generated in situ, by reaction of potassium monoperoxysulfate (sold commercially as OXONE) and cyclohexanones. In this case, cyclohexene derivatives may be smoothly epoxidized in 40-100% yields (equation 10)71. 

A range of cis-substituted alkenes have been epoxidized with a new dihydroiso-quinolinium salt catalyst, using tetraphenylphosphonium monoperoxysulfate as the stoichiometric oxidant, giving ees of up to 97%.94... 

Treatment of (1) with Potassium Monoperoxysulfate (oxone) gave an 80% yield of the exo-epoxide (4) (eq 3), which is of potential use for the preparation of carbocyclic analogs of 2 -or 3 -deoxyribofuranosylamines.
