An N-aryl-substituted oxazolidinone-containing ketone-catalyzed asymmetric epoxidation with hydrogen peroxide as the primary oxidant.
Asymmetric epoxidation of various olefins with an N-aryl-substituted oxazolidinone-containing ketone as catalyst and hydrogen peroxide as the primary oxidant has been investigated, and up to 96% ee was obtained.
