title: Highly diastereo- and enantio-selective epoxidation of secondary allylic alcohols catalyzed by styrene monooxygenase.
abstract: Enantiomerically enriched glycidol derivatives with contiguous stereogenic centers were obtained in a highly diastereo- and enantio-selective epoxidation catalyzed with the styrene monooxygenase StyAB2.
