Asymmetric oxidation

  • Chapter
Advanced Asymmetric Synthesis

Abstract

Of all the recent developments in asymmetric synthesis, it is the asymmetric epoxidation process1 developed in the laboratory of Professor Sharpless* that has had the greatest effect on the way organic synthesis is planned. This is because the titanium/tartrate catalyst system proved to be the first simple method to induce asymmetry that approached the goal of universal applicability and predictability. Already in this book, several examples of the Sharpless method have been discussed:

  1. 1.

    for kinetic resolution of allylic alcohols (Chapter 1);

  2. 2.

    as an example of a process in which non-linear effects are encountered (Chapter 2);

  3. 3.

    as entries to cobalt-mediated cyclisations employing the Nicholas reaction, and to iron-mediated methods of lactone synthesis (Chapter 16). In the next chapter this topic will be encountered again:

  4. 4.

    as a symmetry-splitting reaction for asymmetric induction in extended meso structures.
