Noncovalent Organocatalysis: A Powerful Tool for the Nucleophilic Epoxidation of α-Ylideneoxindoles
2011
A novel asymmetric nucleophilic epoxidation for α-ylideneoxindole esters has been successfully devised, resulting in enantioenriched spiro compounds with two new contiguous stereocenters. The employed (S)-α,α-diphenylprolinol functions as a bifunctional catalyst, creating a complex H-bond network in conjunction with a substrate and an oxidant.
