from l‐ and d‐xylose, and l‐ and d‐arabinose, respectively. These monosaccharide‐based chiral macrocycles were tested as phase transfer catalysts in a few asymmetric reactions. The xylal‐based crown compounds proved to be efficient catalysts in a few liquid‐liquid phase reactions. The epoxidation of trans‐chalcone and the Darzens condensation of α‐chloroacetophenone with benzaldehyde took place with
The chiral monoaza-15-crown-5 lariat ethers annellated to methyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-α-d-glucopyranoside-1 or mannopyranoside 2 have been applied as phase-transfercatalysts in the epoxidation of substituted chalcones and chalcone analogues with tert-butylhydroperoxide resulting in significant asymmetricinduction. It was found that the position of the substituents in the aromatic ring of the chalcone
novel electrochemical method for the synthesis of α,β-epoxy ketones is reported. With KI as the redox mediator, methyl ketones reacted with aldehydes under peroxide- and transition metal-free electrolytic conditions and afforded α,β-epoxy ketones in one pot (36 examples, 52–90% yield). This safe and environmental-friendly method has a broad substrate scope and can readily provide a variety of α,β-epoxy
A highly efficient catalytic kinetic resolution of 2,3-epoxy 3-aryl ketones via asymmetric ring-opening with pyrazole derivatives has been achieved by using a chiral N,N′-dioxide–Sc(iii) complex as the catalyst.

Application of trans-3,5-dihydroperoxy-3,5-dimethyl-1,2-dioxolane as an efficient oxygen source has been explored in the epoxidation of trans-chalcones. The reactions proceed under mild conditions at room temperature in alkaline solution to afford the corresponding epoxides in excellent yields.
