Abstract

The bicarbonate-activated peroxide (BAP) system has been shown to constitute an excellent and versatile combination for the epoxidation of olefins. Herein, we demonstrate that the benign H2O2/NaHCO3 oxidative combination can be used for the enantioselective epoxidation of olefins using a chiral manganese porphyrin as a catalyst. This unprecedented result was made possible by the use of an ionic liquid with ultrasound, which leads to the activation of Mn-porphyrin catalysis.
