Abstract
The enantiomerically pure ruthenium porphyrin 3 was synthesized in ver y high yield by refluxing the porphyrin 2 with Ru-3(CO)(12) in phenol; its subsequent use in the catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of olefins with 2,6-dichloropyridine N-oxide as terminal oxidant, to afford epox ides in good yields and with enantioselectivities up to 77%, is report ed.
