Investigations into new methods for the efficient and environmentally benign catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes
This thesis presents our investigations into the catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes. An introductory chapter highlights the importance of chirality in nature and industry. It focuses on a few relevant examples of syntheses in which the use of optically pure epoxides as building blocks is fu...
