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 …

Axial chirality1 was predicted by van't Hoff in his historical paper, 1, 2 which laid the
foundations of stereochemistry. 3 BINOL (1), one of the best known representatives of axially …

Dioxiranes can be generated in situ10, 13 from ketones and Oxone (2KHSO5· KHSO4·
K2SO4)(Scheme 1). 14 In principle, only a catalytic amount of ketone should be needed …

Vanadium haloperoxidases catalyse the oxidation of halides leading to halogenation of
substrates or, in the absence of suitable substrates, to oxidation of hydrogen peroxide into …

Chirally modified vanadium complexes have been used as catalysts in enantioselective
epoxidations of allylic alcohols and asymmetric sulfide to sulfoxide oxidations. For both …

The use of asymmetric catalysts that do not rely exclusively on tetrahedral chirality is well
documented. These catalysts incorporate ligands based on, for example, an axially chiral …

Historically, reagent controlled reactions (mechanism controlled reactions) have played a
significant role in the asymmetric synthesis of complex structures. In contrast, today's …

The asymmetric epoxidation of allylic alcohols by metal catalysts,[1] though a widely used
synthetic method, could gain even more practical applications if the following were realized …

A simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly asymmetric epoxidation of primary,
