Abstract
Applications of η5-cyclopentadienyl molybdenum complexes as catalysts for achiral and chiral epoxidation of olefins are reviewed. The discussion is categorized according to the different complex types which arise from the variety of ancillary ligands coordinated to the (η5-C5R5)Mo moiety. The yields and turnover frequencies (TOFs) achieved under standard conditions with these different catalysts have been considered and thus, an assessment of the dependence of catalytic activity on the ligand environment is presented.
Keywords: Catalysis, cyclopentadiene, epoxidation, homogeneous, molybdenum, olefin, turnover frequencies (TOFs), haptotropic shifts, Cp moiety, nucleophilic olefin, cyclopentadienyl moiety, Liquid-phase catalytic epoxidation, FTIR spectroscopic, Ansa-Bridged Complexes, Binuclear complexes

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
