Abstract
Fluorophilic polyoxotungstates perform the selective epoxidations of internal and terminal double bonds by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) activation in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP), under mild temperature conditions. A hybrid synergy of supramolecular interactions, involving the inorganic cluster and the fluorinated solvent, is envisaged to boost H2O2 activation and the oxygen transfer mechanism. 1,2-Epoxides have been obtained with >99% selectivity and 98% yield at T = 40-70 °C.
