Abstract
Currently, the oxidative transformations of natural olefins are complicated for competitive reactions such as isomerization, skeletal rearrangements and nucleophilic addition. These concurrent reactions are promoted by metal reoxidant, normally a Lewis acid, and by protic solvent. In this article, the oxidation of terpenes, namely camphene, β-pinene, α-pinene and 3-carene were performed in PdCl2/H2O2/CH3CN system. This metal reoxidant-free system showed highly efficient, especially on camphene and β-pinene oxidation, which resulted in the selective conversion of these substrates into epoxy-derivates and allylic oxidation products, respectively. Additionally, the effects of the principal reactional parameters such as the peroxide/catalyst and substrate/catalyst molar ratio were also investigated.
