(a) Monitoring the A460 optical chromophore corresponding to 3a* (open squares) and the 1,2-epoxyoctane product yields (filled circles) determined by gas chromatography (GC) as a function of time in the 1a*/H2O2/AcOH/1-octene reaction at −40 °C, with 100 equiv. (black traces) and 400 equiv. (red traces) of 1-octene. The product formation time traces are fit with a linear function (red and black straight lines) to obtain the rate. (b) Plot for the rate of 1,2-epoxyoctane production as a function of [1-octene], in the catalytic oxidation of this substrate using 1a* (0.5 mM), H2O2 (10 mM) and AcOH (100 mM).
