A series of bridled chiroporphyrins has been prepared in which the distortion of the porphyrin ring is controlled solely by the length of the bridles. The influence of ring distortion on the enantioselectivity of catalytic epoxidation by their manganese complexes has been investigated. Twisting the porphyrin ring is found to enhance the enantioselectivity of dihydronaphthalene epoxidation. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2002)
