Abstract
Oligopeptides are versatile catalysts for the enantioselective epoxidation of electron deficient alkenes, (e.g. alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones) with alkaline hydrogen peroxide. This review describes optimisation of the catalyst, substrate range, synthetic applications of the products and rationalisation of the stereoselectivity by an active site model.
