Asymmetric catalytic oxidation

Asymmetric catalytic oxidation is a technique of oxidizing various substrates to give an enantiopure product using a catalyst.

Reactions

Jacobsen epoxidation of alkenes using manganese-salen complex and NaOCl
Sharpless epoxidation of allyl alcohols using titanium isopropoxide, diethyl tartrate, and tert-butyl hydroxyperoxide
Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of alkenes using dihydroquinine or dihydroquinidine ligands on an osmium metal center
Sharpless oxyamination
Shi epoxidation of alkenes using oxone and a fructose-derived chiral catalyst
Sulfonyloxaziridine enolate oxidation
