Asymmetric catalytic oxidation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Asymmetric catalytic oxidation is a technique of oxidizing various substrates to give an enantiopure product using a catalyst.

[edit] Reactions

• Jacobsen epoxidation of alkenes using manganese-salen complex and NaOCl
• Sharpless epoxidation of allyl alcohols using titanium isopropoxide, diethyl tartrate, and t-butyl hydroxyperoxide
• Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of alkenes using dihydroquinine or dihydroquinidine ligands on an osmium metal center
• Sharpless oxyamination
• Shi epoxidation of alkenes using oxone and a fructose-derived chiral catalyst
• Sulfonyloxaziridine enolate oxidation
