Abstract

Shi epoxidation is an extremely powerful tool to access optically active epoxides. Several generations of chiral ketones have been developed to realize the asymmetric epoxidation of trans‐, trisubstituted olefins, cis‐olefins, terminal olefins, and tetrasubstituted olefins. Due to its reliability and high regio‐ and enantioselectivity, Shi epoxidation has been widely applied in the synthesis of complex natural products and biologically active molecules. More details are discussed in the article by Du et al. on page 2016—2026.image
