Regioselective Hydroperoxylation of Aziridines and Epoxides Only with Aqueous Hydrogen Peroxide

A catalyst and organic solvent-free regioselective hydroperoxylation of aziridines and epoxides, including spiroaziridine- and spiroepoxy oxindoles have been explored with commercially available 50% aq. H2O2. This method provides an access to secondary benzylic β-hydroperoxy amines and -alcohols and tertiary 3-hydroperoxy oxindoles. The protocol is also applicable to the less reactive alkyl aziridines. Furthermore, an acid-catalyzed Kornblum-DeLaMare type rearrangement of secondary benzylic hydroperoxide has also been revealed to afford amino- and hydroxyl ketones. (Figure presented.).

Preparation and Application of α-Imino Ketones through One-Pot Tandem Reactions Based on Heyns Rearrangement

α-Imino ketone is a useful building block for the preparation of α-amino ketones and α-amino alcohols. However, its preparation has been seldomly seen. Herein, a metal-free and operationally simple strategy has been developed to generate α-imino ketones with high regioselectivity. Meanwhile, the method allowed for the preparation of various N,O-ketals with high regioselectivities and diastereoselectivities through cascade reactions in one pot.
