This review concentrates on success stories from the synthesis of approved medicines and
drug candidates using epoxide chemistry in the development of robust and efficient …

Epoxides are valuable intermediates for the stereocontrolled synthesis of complex organic
compounds, and their utility has expanded dramatically with the advent of practical …

Barry Sharpless was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize as a compliment to his great
contributions in the field of asymmetric epoxidation, which has been recognized as one of …

The catalytic asymmetric oxidation of unfunctionalised alkenes is achieved by a non-
transition metal catalysed process; just 5 mol% of the binaphthyl-based iminium salt 1 is …

Recent developments in metallosalen-catalyzed asymmetric oxidation, namely, the
epoxidation of simple olefins and the desymmetrization of meso-tetrahydrofurans by using …

The discovery of the metal salen-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening (ARO) of epoxides is
chronicled. A screening approach was adopted for the identification of catalysts for the …

Ring opening of racemic epoxides with thiophenoxide anion affords 0-hydroxy sulfides (3),
which can be resolved by chromatographic separation of their diastereomeric 1-(1-naphthyl) …

New &symmetric chiral ketones for catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctionalized
olefins Page 1 Pergamon Rwahednm: Asymmcrry. Vol. 8. No. 17, pp. 2921-2926, 1997 8 1997 …

This paper describes a new class of chiral oxazolidinone ketone catalyst for asymmetric
epoxidation. High ee values have been obtained for a number of cyclic and acyclic cis …

This paper describes a highly chemo-and enantioselective epoxidation of conjugated cis-
enynes using readily available glucose-derived ketone 2 as catalyst and Oxone as oxidant …
