Two common amino alcohols, prolinol and isolucinol, and their derivatives have been screened to coordinate with MoO 2 (acac) 2 to form in situ catalysts for asymmetric epoxidation of styrenes with the highest enantioselectivity of 84% for 4-fluoro-styrene under the optimized reaction conditions.

A synthetic strategy was developed to anchor an amino acid L-valine on to styrene-divinylbenzene co-polymer beads with 8% and 6% cross linking. The polymeric ligands containing bidentate N,O donor sites were treated with a solution of ruthenium(III) chloride to form the metal complex on the support.
Vanadium catalysts bearing (+)-ketopinic acid-based chiral hydroxamic acids as constituent ligands are investigated in the asymmetric epoxidation of allylic alcohols. Chiral ligands lacking an N-substituent and those having a bulkier aryl group in the bornane skeleton provided better selectivity.
