Abstract
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 optically active Mn(III)-salen complexes. Dihydronaphthalene derivatives were converted into the corresponding optically active epoxides in good yields with 60–77% enantiomeric excesses.Keywords
