A new chiral ligand, meso-tetrafenchylidenylmethylporphyrin, as well a
s the corresponding manganese(III)porphyrin have been synthesized. The
first results on the catalytic asymetric epoxidation of styrenes and
of unfunctionalized aliphatic alkenes, using sodium hypochlorite as ox
ygen source, are reported.
