Asymmetric epoxidation and kinetic resolution of allylic phosphine oxides

Abstract
Allylic alcohols bearing a diphenylphosphinoyl group undergo asymmetric epoxidation with excellent enantioselectivity, and can undergo kinetic resolution with good diastereoselectivity, with the diphenylphosphinoyl group exerting an anti-directing effect on the epoxidation.
