Asymmetric epoxidation of substituted cis-β-methylstyrenes using N-aryl substituted oxazolidinone-containing ketones as catalysts shows that substituents on the phenyl group of the olefin have significant positive effects on the enantioselectivity of the

This paper describes a new class of chiral oxazolidinone ketone catalyst for asymmetric epoxidation. High ee values have been obtained for a number of cyclic and acyclic cis-olefins. The epoxidation was stereospecific with no isomerization observed in the epoxidation of acyclic systems. Encouragingly high ee values have also been obtained for a number of terminal olefins. Mechanistic studies show that electronic interactions play an important role in stereodifferentiation.
