Careful evaluation of the corresponding aminopyridine manganese complexes in asymmetric epoxidation of olefins revealed a broad substrate scope in the presence of 0.2 mol% manganese complex and 0.5 equiv. 2,2-dimethylbutyric acid, with aqueous hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. A variety of olefins including styrenes, chromenes, and cinnamamides were transformed successfully into the target epoxides with moderate to excellent enantioselectivity（yield up to 95%, ee up to 99%）.展开更多
