title: New chiral binaphthalene-derived iminium salt organocatalysts for asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes.
abstract: A series of binaphthalene-fused azepinium salts has been generated and used as organocatalysts in the asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctionalized alkenes, giving rise to ees of up to 84%.
