Several ketone catalysts containing spiro ethers and lactones have been investigated for the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins. The results showed that substituents on the spiro ring of the ketone catalysts have profound effects on enantioselectivity. Results also suggested that the high enantioselectivities previously observed for conjugated cis-olefins with oxazoliclinone containing ketones Could he partially due to attractive interactions between the R-pi group of the olefin and the carbonyl group of the oxazolidinone. In addition, nonbonding interactions such as van der Waals forces and/or hydrophobic interactions between the oletin substituents and the nitrogen substituents of the oxazolidinone may also be involved in stereodifferentiation. The inforniation gained provides additional understanding of factors important for ketone catalyzed epoxidations. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
