G. Pozzi et al., EFFICIENT AEROBIC EPOXIDATION OF ALKENES IN PERFLUORINATED SOLVENTS CATALYZED BY CHIRAL (SALEN) MN COMPLEXES, Chemical communications, (8), 1998, pp. 877-878
Chiral complexes selectively soluble in perfluorocarbons have been syn
thesized for the first time and tested as catalysts for the epoxidatio
n of alkenes under fluorous biphasic conditions.
