Two novel chiral biphenyl iminium salts derived from L-acetonamine, containing electron-withdrawing 3,30-substituents on the biphenyl unit, have been prepared and tested as asymmetric catalysts for epoxidation of prochiral alkenes. The results are compared with those achieved using the corresponding unsubstituted system.
