Reaction conditions: Cyclobutanone 4 (0.10 mmol, 1.0 equiv), P41 (2.5 mol%), and H2O2 (30% w/w aq. 1.5 equiv) at −15 °C with [4c] = 0.05 M CHCl3. Reported results are the average of two trials.
Isolated yield after chromatography.
Enantiomeric ratios were determined by CSP-HPLC analysis.
See supporting information for details on assignment of absolute configuration. The configuration of products 5c-d, 5g–l were assigned in analogy to 5e and 5f.
