Background & Objective: A green one-pot synthesis of oleic acid (1) derivatives is promoted by Rare Earth Metal (REM) triflates and commercial Molybdenum dioxo dichloride (MoCl2O2) in the presence hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant.
Results: The protocol permits to govern the oxidation selectivity by simply choosing the proper combination of Mo and Sc catalysts.
Conclusion: Methyl oleate epoxide 2a and azelaic acid 6 thus obtained are valuable industrial intermediates for synthesizing bio-compostable plastics, plasticizers of PVC, lubricating oils, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals (bactericides, anti-inflammatories, etc.).
Keywords: Removable resource, rare earth, molybdenum complex, sustainability, azelaic acid, green chemistry.
