Abstract

The asymmetric oxidation of a variety of differently substituted, acyclic and cyclic enol phosphates using the Sharpless AD-reagents AD-mix-α and AD-mix-β, and a fructose derived chiral ketone as a catalyst, afforded the corresponding α-hydroxy ketones in high enantioselectivity and good yield. The influence of steric and electronic factors of the substrates on the facial stereoselectivity in the reported oxidations was studied.
