Conversion of olefins into trans-diols or trans-diol mono-ethers by using iron porphyrin(III) complex and H2O2

Abstract

Iron porphyrin complex showed an excellent catalytic activity on conversion of various olefins into 1,2-diols or 1,2-diol mono-ethers by H2O2 under mild and neutral conditions to produce relatively regioselective products. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
