Abstract
AbstractA convenient and practical method for the iron‐catalyzed epoxidation of aromatic and aliphatic olefins is described. The iron catalyst system is generated in situ from iron trichloride hexahydrate, pyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxylic acid (H2pydic), and benzylamines. By variation of the benzylamine ligand, a variety of aliphatic and aromatic olefins were oxidized in high yield (up to 96 %) and good‐to‐excellent selectivity in the presence of hydrogen peroxide as the terminal oxidant.
