title: A Catalytic Enantioselective Electron Transfer Reaction: Titanocene-Catalyzed Enantioselective Formation of Radicals from meso-Epoxides.
abstract: A rationally designed titanium(III) catalyst allows the opening of epoxides with high enantioselectivity. This reaction [Eq. (1)] constitutes the first example of an enantioselective transition metal catalyzed radical reaction that proceeds by electron transfer.
