Recent advances in enantioselective metal-catalyzed oxidations are presented. Two transformations are discussed in detail: (a) asymmetric Baeyer-Villiger reactions of racemic and prochiral cyclic ketones giving optically active lactones, and (b) sulfide oxidations affording enantiomerically enriched

β¦ Synopsis
Two asymmetric metal-catalyzed oxidations are discussed. Chiral copper complexes catalyze enantiospecific Baeyer-Villiger oxidations giving optically active lactones in up to 95% ee. Vanadium complexes have been used in enantioselective sulfide oxidations with hydrogen peroxide.
