Epoxidations and Hydroperoxidations of , -Unsaturated Ketones

Corinna Reisinger has developed a new organocatalytic asymmetric epoxidation of cyclic and acyclic , -unsaturated ketones. She also proves the versatility and synthetic value of the cyclic peroxyhemiketals by converting them into highly enantioenriched acyclic and cyclic aldol products.
