Abstract

Several new cyclodextrin ketones with a ketone attached to the secondary face of the cyclodextrin in the form of a 2,3-O-(2-oxopropane-1,3-diyl) or 2-oxo group are reported. These compounds and a selection of known cyclodextrin ketones having the ketone at the primary face were investigated as epoxidation catalysts for oxidation of stilbenes and styrene. A method for determination of k_cat in these epoxidations is presented, which was used to determine the rate accelerations for the cyclodextrin ketones relative to background reaction. The highest rate acceleration obtained for epoxidation of 4-methoxy-4′-nitro-trans-stilbene was 221. The highest enantioselectivity obtained was 76% ee of (S)-styrene oxide. A cyclodextrin bearing a ketone on the secondary face can catalyze the epoxidation of stilbenes with cavity induced rate increases of 100-200 and stereoselectivity.
