Abstract
A catalyzed process whereby a cyclic olefin is oxidized to produce an epoxide is disclosed. The inventive process which uses air, or molecular oxygen as the sole oxidizing agent, and which is catalyzed by a specifically structured metallosalen complex is characterized in its high selectivity and high turnover efficiency.
