The asymmetric epoxidation of several chalcones and other electron-poor olefins, in the presence of catalytic amounts of poly-(S)-amino-acids in a triphase system with optical yields of up to 96% is described. The influence of the molecular structure of the catalysts and substrates, the solvent, and the temperature on the stereochemistry is discussed.
Die asymm. Epoxidierung der olefinischen Ketone (I) in Gegenwart katalytischer Mengen des Polyaminosäurederivats (IIIC) in einem Dreiphasen‐System liefert die Epoxide (II) in den angegebenen Ausb. und optischen Reinheiten.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
