A mild synthesis of 1,3-diaryl-2,3-epoxypropanones via the Cu(0)/selectfluor system-catalyzed epoxidation of chalcone compounds has been achieved using water as the oxygen source. The optimized reaction conditions were established through systematic investigations of the effect of catalyst precursors, oxidants and their dosages, and solvents on the reaction conditions. A variety of chalcones with different substituted patterns can undergo the epoxidation smoothly and furnish products with high yields of up to 92%.

Key words: copper catalysis, selectluor, chalcone, epoxidation
