Two molybdenum(VI) complexes bearing a C 3 symmetrical amino tris‐ tert ‐butylphenolate ligand have proved to be air‐ and water‐tolerant catalysts that efficiently catalyse, in high yields and selectivity, the oxidation of sulfides, olefins and halides. In particular high turnover frequencies and turnover numbers (TOF and TON) have been obtained for the cyclooctene epoxidation (catalyst loading down to 0.05%, TONs up to 88,000 and TOFs up to 7500 h −1 ).
