title: Enantioselective manganese-porphyrin-catalyzed epoxidation and C-H hydroxylation with hydrogen peroxide in water/methanol solutions.
abstract: The asymmetric epoxidation of alkene and hydroxylation of arylalkane derivatives by H(2)O(2) to give optically active epoxides (enantiomeric excess (ee) up to 68%) and alcohols (ee up to 57%), respectively, were carried out in water/methanol solutions using chiral water-soluble manganese porphyrins as catalysts.
