Abstract

This article focuses on stoichiometric and catalytic epoxide oxidations and their scope in organic synthesis. The work on Bi/O2-catalysed oxidation, developed in our group over the last last ten years, is presented with various reactions leading to several oxidised compounds.

1 Introduction

2 Epoxide Oxidations Involving C-C Bond Cleavage

2.1 Stoichiometric Oxidations

2.2 Catalytic Oxidations

3 Epoxide Oxidations Without C-C Bond Cleavage

3.1 Stoichiometric Oxidations

3.2 Catalytic Oxidations

4 Conclusion
