Development of catalysts derived from chiral amines

In this thesis we report the development of biaryl azepinium salts (e.g. 83, Figure i) and their application in the enantioselective epoxidation of tri-substituted alkenes. These iminium salts appear to exist as a mixture of two conformers at room temperature. The observed enantiocontrol in the epox...
