Abstract

This work may give an understanding of why epoxide and aldehyde are easily generated in olefin oxidation by molecular oxygen when vanadium phenoxyimine complex was employed as a catalyst. This work would also explain why oxetane and dioxetane were harder to produce, although a radical tautomerism may allow the formation of such products.
