Catalytic enantioselective oxidations using molecular oxygen.
The use of molecular oxygen as an atom-efficient, environmentally benign and inexpensive oxidant has increasingly gained consideration in catalysis. This review will specifically highlight catalytic enantioselective oxidations that utilize molecular oxygen as a terminal oxidant. The topics covered herein include aerobic enantioselective variants of alcohol oxidation, Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, dihydroxylation, epoxidation, oxidative biaryl coupling and sulfoxidation.
