Among chiral macrocycles 1 synthesized, 1m with the 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylethynyl group was the best organocatalyst for the enantioselective synthesis of cyclic carbonates from disubstituted or monosubstituted epoxides and CO2. The X-ray crystal structure of 1m revealed a well-defined chiral cavity with multiple hydrogen-bonding sites that is suitable for the enantioselective activation of epoxides. A catalytic cycle proposed was supported by DFT calculations.
Enantioselective allylic oxidation of cycloalkenes by using Cu(II)-tris(oxazoline) complex as a catalyst

Optically active copper(II)-tris(oxazoline) complex that was synthesized as a model compound of the active site of non-heme oxygenase, was found to catalyze allylic oxidation of cycloalkenes to give the corresponding 2-cycloalkenyl benzoates with moderate to excellent enantioselectivity (up to 93% ee) under die Kharash-Sosnovsky reaction conditions.
