The enolates of various propiophenones, chromanones, and also analogues of naturally occurring flavanones were stereoselectively hydroxylated at the α-position, by employing commercially available enantiopure oxaziridines, to afford the desired α-hydroxylated target molecules in good to exceptional stereoselectivities and in moderate to good chemical yields. A mechanistic rationale is presented to account for the stereoselectivities achieved. These in vitro results were tentatively related to the stereoselective biosynthesis of enantio-enriched dihydroflavonols while questions were raised about the authenticity of certain natural compounds.
