Abstract
Epoxidation using a (salen)Mn catalyst shows complete selectivity between 2,6-trans and 2,6-cis dimethylbenzylidene cyclohexanes, is diastereospecific, and exhibits a kinetic resolution with k(rel)=5. Stereochemistry and conformation of the product 4,8-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1-oxaspiro[2.5]octane were determined by DQF-COSY and nOe difference measurements at 600MHz.
