A novel class of synthetically important glycidic esters has been obtained via an asymmetric epoxidation of trans-α-cyano-α,β-unsaturated esters catalysed by a multifunctional Cinchona alkaloid-derived thiourea/tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) system. The glycidic esters, isolated in excellent yield with complete trans-diastereocontrol and high enantioselectivity, proved to be versatile building blocks to access challenging small targets bearing a quaternary stereocenter.
