A manganese(III)-substituted polyoxometalate of the "sandwich" structure, [MnIII2ZnW(ZnW9O34)2]10-, catalyzed the highly selective (&gt;99.9%) epoxidation of alkenes, such as 1-octene, 2-octene, and cyclohexene with nitrous oxide. Reactions occurred in homogeneous media at 150 degrees C under 1 atm N2O. The epoxidation had a linear reaction profile; turnover frequencies of 0.5-1.4 h-1 were measured. The reactions were also stereoselective; for example, cis-stilbene gave cis-stilbene oxide. From ESR spectroscopy, it was shown that a Mn(II) octahedral species is reversibly formed by reaction between the original Mn(III) polyoxometalate and N2O. Therefore, it would appear that a Mn(V)-oxo active species is not formed; it is possible that the activation of nitrous oxide was by its oxidation by the Mn(III) polyoxometalate.
