Novel catalysts and mechanistic investigation in dioxirane-mediated oxidations

The work described in this thesis follows the development of a family of achiral trifluoroketones, which were studied for use as ketone catalysts for the in situ generation of dioxiranes. One of the ketones investigated was a novel solid phase polymer-bound ketone, which led to a new area for dioxir...
