An in situ formed porphyrin-inspired iron complex that catalyzesasymmetricepoxidation of di- and trisubstituted enones is described. The reaction provides highly enantioenriched α,β-epoxyketones (up to 99% ee). The practical utility of the new catalyst system is demonstrated by the gram-scale synthesis of optically pure epoxide. Hammett analysis suggests that the transition state of the reaction
