β¦ Synopsis
Asymmetric allylic oxidation of cyclic olefins using a catalytic amount of copper(I) bisoxazoline complexes and new peresters was investigated to give allylic benzoate esters in high selectivity (~80%ee), yield (70-80%), and at reasonable rates (5-7 d) at -20 Β°C in acetonitrile. Cyclohexene reacted with para-chloro tertbutylperbenzoate and 15 mol% dipbenylbisoxazoline-copper(I) bexafluorophosphate to give benzoate product in 83% yield and 75% ee.
