Ruthenium bis(bipyridine) sulfoxide complexes: new catalysts for alkene epoxidation.
The ruthenium bis(bipyridine) sulfoxide complexes Ru-1 and Ru-2 exhibit high catalytic activity for epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins in the presence of [bis(acetoxy)iodo]benzene; with the chiral catalyst, Ru-2, asymmetric induction up to 94% was observed for beta-methylstyrene.
