Asymmetric cyclopropanation of olefins was carried out with chiral copper-Schiff base complexes derived from copper acetate monohydrate, substituted salicylaldehydes and a chiral amino alcohol. Substituents on salicylaldehyde framework demonstrate a significant effect on the steroselectivities. Thos

β¦ Synopsis
The oxygenation of styrene catalyzed by optically active cobalt Schiff base complexes in 2-propanol gives an enantiomer excess of l-phenylethanol. The asymmetric induction may be accomplished in two steps: addition of CoH species to styrene and decomposition of 1-phenylethyl hydroperoxide. Cobalt Schiff base complexes [Co(SB)] are quite interesting because of their characteristic activities in oxygenation reactions. For example, in aprotic solvents, they exhibit dioxygenase-like activity in addition to the reversible formation of dioxygen complexes. 1,2 In protic solvents, on the other hand, they are oxidized irreversibly to cobalt(II1) species3 and turn to promote monooxygenations of organic molecules, 4 including ketonization of

Substituted 2'-hydroxyacetophenone 4-bromophenylhydrazones are oxygenated readily in the presence of Co(Salpr) in ethanol to give 2-(4-bromophenylazo)-1,3\_benzodioxoles in good yield. The results
Co(salpr) catalyzes the conversion of 2'-hydroxychalcones to flavanones in methanol under oxygen. Base catalysis by Co(salpr)(OH) produced in situ is responsible for the reaction, which is found to proceed reversibly. Cobalt(II) Schiff base complexes [ColI (SB) ] exhibit dioxygenase-like activity in
