Electroepoxidation of natural and synthetic alkenes mediated by sodium bromide. Comptes Rendus Chimie, 12(8), 841-849. doi:10.1016/j.crci.2008.10.014http://hdl.handle.net/10400.6/12312Electroepoxidation of synthetic alkenes (styrene, trans-stilbene and trans-b-methylstyrene) and of some natural terpenes (limonene, terpinolene, geraniol, a-terpinene, g-terpinene and a-terpineol) mediated by sodium bromide was performed in MeCN:H2O (4:1) at platinum electrodes. The indirect electrochemical oxidation of the olefins led to the corresponding epoxides in yields ranging from 23% to 79%.engElectrochemical epoxidationSodium bromideAlkenesTerpenesjournal article10.1016/j.crci.2008.10.014
