Abstract

The enantioselective epoxidation of α,β-unsaturated ketones utilising Cinchona alkaloid-derived quaternary ammonium phase-transfer catalysts bearing an N-anthracenylmethyl function are presented. It has been found that the O-benzyl derivatives of these catalysts in conjunction with sodium hypochlorite give high stereocontrol and application of this process to the enantioselective synthesis of a range of trans-α,β-epoxy ketones (e.e. 69–89%) is presented.
