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 …

This report presents the applications of enantioselective epoxidation of prochiral allylic
alcohols, so called 'Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation', which is frequently referred as …

Despite the wealth of enantioselective and catalytic epoxidations of olefins—including those
associated with the names of Juliµ and Colonna, Wynberg, Jackson, Sharpless, Jacobsen …

Despite the potential of chiral peroxides as biologically interesting or even clinically
important compounds, no catalytic enantioselective peroxidation has been reported. With a …

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 …

A detailed study shows that the chiral ketone catalyzed asymmetric epoxidations of
hydroxyalkenes are highly pH dependent. The lower enantioselectivity obtained at low pH is …

The need of environmentally benign and clean oxidation reactions remains an important
goal of chemical research. Although oxidation reactions constitute core technologies for …

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 …

Chiral epoxides serve as versatile building blocks in the synthesis of complex organic
frameworks. The high strain imposed by the three‐membered ring system makes epoxides …
