Enantioselective Epoxidation of Unfunctionalized Olefins with Molecular Oxygen and Aldehyde Catalyzed by Optically Active Manganese(III) Complexes
Enantioselective epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins with combined use of molecular oxygen, an oxidant, and pivalaldehyde, a reductant, was demonstrated in the presence of a catalytic amount of...
