摘要
The organocatalytic asymmetric epoxidation of alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehydes with peroxides or sodium percarbonate is presented. Chiral pyrrolidine derivatives, proline and amino acid derived imidazolidinones mediate the asymmetric epoxidation of alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes. For example, commercially available protected alpha,alpha-diphenyl-2-prolinol catalyzes the asymmetric formation of 2-epoxy-aldehydes in 81-95% conversion with up to 96:4 dr and 98% ee. The use of non-toxic catalysts, aqueous solvents and hydrogen peroxide or sodium percarbonate as the oxygen sources makes the reaction environmentally benign. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
