Abstract

Iron porphyrins have been found to be efficient catalysts for the ring-expansion reaction of epoxides with alkenes to give the corresponding tetrahydrofurans; very low loadings (down to 1 mol %) are sufficient to achieve high yields (up to 98%). Additionally, an iron(III) salen complex based on the axially chiral 1,1-binaphthalene backbone has been shown to catalyze the reaction with high enantioselectivity (e.g., 92% ee for calyxolane A).

期刊介绍： Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
