Abstract
Chiral ketones have been shown to be effective organocatalysts for asymmetric epoxidation of olefins with broad substrate scope. High enantioselectivity has been obtained for a wide variety of trans and trisubstituted olefins, as well as a number of cis olefins, with encouragingly high ee's for some terminal olefins. The stereochemical outcome of the reaction can be rationalized by a spiro transition state model.Entities:
