Abstract

The asymmetric oxyfunctionalization of alkenes is a fundamental process in synthetic organic chemistry. In this contribution, we review our findings on the enantioselective organocatalyzed oxidation of electron-poor alkenes. Readily or commercially available β-amino alcohols displayed catalytic activity in the asymmetric epoxidation of α,β-enones and β-peroxidation of nitroalkenes with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant. The corresponding epoxides and peroxides were isolated in good to high yield and enantioselectivity.

Key words

α,β-enones - epoxides - peroxides - α,α-diaryl-l-prolinols - nitroalkenes
