The pKCsCHA values are reported for a number of symmetrically meta- and para-substituted diphenylmethanes.The pKCsCHA values for the meta series (Me, 33.8; OMe, 32.7; F, 29.9; CF3, 28.9; Ph, 32.3; H, 33.4) give a normal Hammett plot with ρ = 9.69.The para series (Me, 35.1; OMe,37.6; Ph, 30.8; NMe2, 38.6; SPh, 28.8; CN, 23.0; SO2Me, 22.4) do not fit attempted correlations with ?, the Yukawa-Tsuno modifications, or dual substituent parameter approaches.Electron-donating groups are more anion destabilizing than in other reference systems. "Amphoteric" substituents, those that stabilize both anions and cations (phenyl, thio, etc.), cause special problems in generalized correlations.
Catalytic asymmetric epoxidation

Page/Page column 28, (2010/02/12)
The present invention relates to the synthesis of chiral epoxides via a catalytic asymmetric oxidation of olefins. Additionally, the methodology provides a method of asymmetrically oxidizing sulfides and phosphines. This asymmetric oxidation employs a catalyst system composed of a metal and a chiral bishydroxamic acid ligand, which, in the presence of a stoichiometric oxidation reagent, serves to asymmetrically oxidize a variety of substrates.
