[GRAPHICS]
Nonactivated hydrocarbon sites of enantiopure compounds are oxyfunctionaliz
ed enantiospecifically by perfluoro-cis-2-n-butyl-3-n-propyloxaziridine und
er remarkably mild reaction conditions. The reaction occurs with retention
of configuration at the oxidized stereogenic center, and the enantiospecifi
city is highly independent from both the carbon framework of the substrate
and the presence of functional groups.
