Novel Ketone Catalysts for Asymmetric Epoxidation of Alkenes

Chiral non-racemic ketones have been shown to be powerful promoters of asymmetric induction in epoxidation reactions with alkenes in the presence of Oxone®. However, the catalyst structural features are specific for the class of olefins used as substrates. Up to date, excellent results have been ac...
