title: Novel N-phosphonio imine-catalyzed epoxidation reactions.
abstract: A new type of acyclic N-phosphonio imine catalyst for selective epoxidations has been synthesized. The activity of these imine catalysts can easily be modulated by varying its substituents. The substituent attached to the imine nitrogen atom is particularly important for an efficient oxygen transfer.
