Ga(III) complexes with bidentate and tetradentate N-donor ligands catalyze the epoxidation of alkenes by peracetic acid. The olefin oxidation is faster and more selective for the epoxide product than other Group 13-containing systems. The influence of the ligand on the catalytic lifetime will be discussed.
