Asymmetric epoxidation of aliphatic enones can be achieved with good conversions and high levels of enantiomeric excess using a catalyst, formulated as 6, derived from dibutylmagnesium and a range of dialkyl tartrates, with tert-butylhydroperoxide as the oxidant. This process works best with the add
