A new facile procedure for the aminobromination of olefins in high yields has been described using p-toluene sulfonamide (p-TsNH(2)) and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) as introgen and bromine sources, respectively, and titanium superoxide as a truly heterogeneous catalyst. The formation of anti-Markovnikov product exclusively in all the cases studied possibly proceeding I free radical reaction pathway is remarkable. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A new milder protocol for aziridination of a variety of olefins has been described. The process employs catalytic amount of sodium metaperiodate (NaIO4) as an oxidant and LiBr and chloramine-T as the bromine and nitrogen sources, respectively. Interestingly, the formation of aziridine products in all the cases studied takes place presumably through a process of 1,2-aminobromination of alkenes. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A novel, exceptionally stable titanium superoxide radical ion was prepared and its structure determined by FTIR, ESR, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis and elemental analysis. This heterogeneous catalyst has been found to be effective for the selective oxidation of aromatic amines and phenols to the corresponding nitro aromatics and p-quinones, respectively. In addition, this non-toxic, inexpensive and reusable catalyst has also been used in aminobromination of olefins, which proceed to give the 1, 2-bromoaminated anti-Markovnikov product. A brief account of these results is summarized in this review.

The combination of sodium periodate, potassium iodide, and sodium azide has been found to be an efficient, simple, and inexpensive reagent system for azidoiodination of alkenes. The regiospecific 1,2-azidoiodination proceeds in an anti-Markovnikov fashion to produce beta-iodoazides in excellent yields.

The HKR of racemic anti- or syn-3-substituted epoxy esters catalyzed by a Co(III)salen complex provides ready access to the corresponding enantioenriched 3,4-disubstituted gamma-butyrolactones and 3-substituted epoxy esters. This strategy has been successfully employed in the formal synthesis of biologically active 3,4-disubstituted piperidine derivatives, (-)-paroxetine and Ro 67-8867 and a natural product, (+)-eldanolide.
