“…Therefore, this is an efficient approach to the synthesis of syn -1,2:3,4-diepoxides from 1,3-dienes under mild conditions. Table 30 summarizes the results of the cobalt(II) tetraphenylporpyrin-catalyzed rearrangement of endoperoxides 576 [ 509 ], 578 [ 510 ], 580 [ 511 ], 582 [ 512 ], 584 [ 353 ], 586 [ 513 ], 588 [ 514 ], 590 , 592 [ 515 ], 594 [ 516 ], 596 [ 517 ], and 598 [ 518 ] which afforded products structurally similar to the diepoxides prepared by thermal rearrangement of endoperoxides ( Table 25 ). All rearrangements were stereospecific and yielded only the syn -diepoxides.…”
