Organocatalytic asymmetric epoxidation of chromenes mediated by iminium salt catalysts under non-aqueous conditions provided ees as high as 99%. Contrastingly, reaction under aqueous conditions can form the corresponding diol products with ees as high as 71%. The process has been used for the synthesis of the East African medicinal plant metabolite (3S,4R)-trans-3,4-dihydroxy-3,4-dihydromollugin.
亚胺盐催化剂在非水条件下介导的色酮的有机催化不对称环氧化提供了高达99%的ee。相反,在水性条件下的反应可以形成相应的二醇产物,其ee s高达71%。该方法已用于合成东非药用植物代谢产物(3 S,4 R)-反式-3,4-二羟基-3,4-二氢软糖。
