Abstract:
Six new polyoxygenated seco-cyclohexenes, artahongkongenes A-F (1-6), together with six known analogues (7-12) were isolated from the stems and leaves of Artabotrys hongkongensis. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods. All new compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicities against five human cancer cell lines: HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7 and SW480 in vitro. New seco-cyclohexenes 1-6 showed significant inhibitory effects against various human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 0.26 to 16.58 μM.

Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Osmium Tetraoxide
Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
