Asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes catalyzed by a porphyrin-inspired manganese complex.
A novel strategy for catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of a wide variety of olefins by a porphyrin-inspired chiral manganese complex using H2O2 as a terminal oxidant in excellent yield with up to greater than 99% ee has been successfully developed.
