The present invention provides a variety of methods that are based on stereoselective epoxidation of an olefin by an epoxidizing agent derived from a reaction between an oxidizing agent and a chiral ketone. For example, present invention provides methods for producing an epoxide from an olefin, for increasing a relative concentration of at least one stereoisomer of an olefin, and for stereoselectively producing an &agr;-acyloxy carbonyl compound. Preferably, the chiral ketone is of the formula:
or a derivative thereof which is capable of converting to the chiral ketone of Formula I under the reaction conditions, where a, b, n, X, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are those defined herein.
本发明提供了一种基于手性酮与氧化剂反应产生的环氧化剂对烯烃进行立体选择性环氧化的各种方法。例如,本发明提供了一种从烯烃制备环氧化物的方法,增加烯烃的至少一种立体异构体的相对浓度的方法,以及立体选择性地制备α-酰氧基羰基化合物的方法。优选,所述手性酮为以下式的化合物:
或其在反应条件下能够转化为上述式I的衍生物,其中a、b、n、X、R1、R2、R3、R4、R5和R6为本文中定义的那些。
