Abstract
A series of D-2-symmetric chiral trans-dioxoruthenium(VI) porphyrins can ef fect enantioselective epoxidation of trans-beta-methylstyrene in up to 70% ee, and 76% ee is attained for the oxidation of cinnamyl chloride; the faci al selection for the trans-alkenes epoxidation is explained by a 'head-on a pproach' model.
