Abstract

... Chiral epoxides are among the most versatile building blocks for modern asymmetric organic synthesis due to the potential for the facile stereospecific ... 8,10 Using water as the nucleophile and chiral Co(III)-salen complexes (eg, 1) as the catalyst, the hydrolytic kinetic resolution ...
