Abstract
In the presence of a catalytic amount of a bis(1,3-diketonato)nickel(II) complex, trisubstituted and exo-terminal olefins or norbornene analogues are smoothly monooxygenated into the corresponding epoxides in high to quantitative yields on treatment with aldehyde under an atmospheric pressure of oxygen at room temperature.Keywords
