✦ Synopsis
Catalytic enantioselective epoxidation of prochiral olefins without functional groups was achieved by tert-BuOOH using Mo(0)2(acac)2 -optically active diols as catalysts. In spite of dramatic developements in asymmetric hydrogenations using optically active transition metal catalysts during recent years', little has been achieved in the field of asymmetric oxidations with chiral transition metal catalysts.
