A protocol for the asymmetric epoxidation of allylic alcohols has been established that employs VO(acac)(2) as catalyst, the commercial achiral hydroxamic acid, N-hydroxy-N-phenyl-benzamide, and optically pure (+)-norcamphor-derived hydroperoxide as oxygen atom donor and chiral source. Variation of the reaction parameters has a significant effect on the level of asymmetric induction. Under optimized conditions, the epoxy alcohols have been isolated in good yields with up to 67% ee and complete control of the diastereoselectivity.

Abstract
A protocol for the asymmetric epoxidation of allylic alcohols has been established that employs VO(acac)(2) as catalyst, the commercial achiral hydroxamic acid, N-hydroxy-N-phenyl-benzamide, and optically pure (+)-norcamphor-derived hydroperoxide as oxygen atom donor and chiral source. Variation of the reaction parameters has a significant effect on the level of asymmetric induction. Under optimized conditions, the epoxy alcohols have been isolated in good yields with up to 67% ee and complete control of the diastereoselectivity.File in questo prodotto:
