Ry. Yang et Lx. Dai, ENANTIOSELECTIVE EPOXIDATION OF OLEFINS WITH RUTHENIUM (III)-PYRIDYL-OXAZOLINES AS CATALYST, Journal of molecular catalysis, 87(1), 1994, pp. 120000001-120000014
Asymmetric epoxidation of olefins by sodium periodate is effected by t
he catalyst of RuCl3 associated with chiral 2-pyridyl-oxazolines, up t
o 21% ee epoxidation products are obtained for 1-phenylcyclohexene.
