A greener oxidation: A titanium(salalen) complex catalyzes the asymmetric epoxidation of aliphatic (non-activated) olefins using aqueous hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. Reactions with aliphatic terminal and Z olefins furnish the corresponding epoxides in good yields with high enantioselectivities of up to 97 % ee.
