Readily available arabinose-derived ketones, containing a tunable butane-2,3-diacetal as the steric blocker, displayed increasing enantioselectivity (up to 90% ee) with the size of the acetal alkyl group in catalytic asymmetricepoxidation of trans-disubstituted and trisubstituted alkenes. The stereochemical communication between our ketonecatalysts and the alkene substrates is mainly due to steric
