title: Asymmetric epoxidation via phase-transfer catalysis: direct conversion of allylic alcohols into alpha,beta-epoxyketones.
abstract: Studies into the use of a chiral phase-transfer catalyst in conjunction with sodium hypochlorite to effect the enantio-selective formation of alpha,beta-epoxyketones from allylic alcohols are described.
