摘要
We report the first theoretical studies on the asymmetric sulfonium ylide epoxidation reaction using a chiral sulfide that successfully reproduces the experimentally determined high enantiomeric excess. Calculations at the DFT level suggest that the transition states for the addition of the sulfonium ylide to benzaldehyde have energies which account for the observed enantioselectivity.
