Abstract

Abstract A series of experiments was performed to test a theoretical model that we have recently proposed to explain the highly enantioselective oxidation of aryl benzyl sulfides with tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of a complex between titanium and (S, S)-or (R, R)- hydrobenzoin. The studied variations involved the sulfides, the ligands, and the order of addition of reactants. The reaction path predicted by our model was confirmed in every ...
