still a challenging task. In this perspective, we present the application of chiral dinuclear magnesium complexes for asymmetricepoxidation of a broad range of electron-deficient enones. We demonstrate that the in situ generated magnesium-ProPhenol complex affords enantioenriched oxiranes in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Our extensive study verifies the literature
[reaction: see text] Smooth and selective Payne rearrangement was achieved for the above types of epoxyalcohols with a CF(3) group so as to form thermodynamically more stable alkoxides, where the strongly electron-withdrawing nature of this moiety played a significantly important role and was proved to overcome increased steric instability of epoxides from syn-E to anti-Z isomers.
