Asymmetric epoxidation of 1,2-dihydronaphthalene catalyzed by manganese chiroporphyrins: Stereoinduction directed by steric exclusion
High levels of stereoinduction are obtained in the epoxidation of 1,2-dihydronaphthalene catalyzed by sterically crowded manganese chiroporphyrin catalysts, and asymmetric induction is correlated to the degree of nonplanar distortion of the porphyrin free base in solution.
