Highly enantioselective epoxidation of α-substituted styrenes with aqueous H2O2 is described by using a chiral iron complex as the catalyst and N-protected amino acids (AAs) as coligands. The amino acids synergistically cooperate with the iron center in promoting an efficient activation of H2O2 to catalyze epoxidation of this challenging class of substrates with good yields and stereoselectivities (up to 97% ee) in short reaction times.

An unusual palladium hydride complex has been shown to be a competent catalyst in the isomerization of a variety of terminal and internal epoxides. The reaction displayed broad scope and synthetic utility. Experimental and theoretical evidence are provided for an unprecedented hydride mechanism characterized by two distinct enantio-determining steps. These results hold promise for the development of an enantioselective variant of the reaction.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Asymmetric epoxidation of olefins by using an α,α-dimethylmorpholinone-containing chiral ketone catalyst (4) has been investigated. This ketone, which has the combined features of several previously studied catalysts, is an effective catalyst for trans- and trisubstituted olefins, and up to 97% ee has been achieved. The R, R-dimethyl group has significant impact on spiro and planar transition states.
