- Shi epoxidation
The Shi epoxidation is a
chemical reaction described as an asymmetricepoxidation ofolefin s withoxone (potassium peroxymonosulfate) and afructose -derivedcatalyst (1).Ref|Wang1997Ref|Frohn2000This procedure generates epoxides with high
enantiomeric excess es from trans-disubstituted alkenes and trisubstituted alkenes. Cis-disubstituted alkenesRef|Tian2000 andstyrene sRef|Tian2001 are asymmetrically epoxidized using a similar catalyst.References
