A new oxidizing agent having remarkable properties has been found in the readily accessible chiral radical (1). It preferentially oxidizes one enantiomer of the test substances D, L-benzil and D, L-benzion, so thet the other enentiomer accumulates. The reactivity and enantioselectivity of (1) should be enhanced by other substituents.
