26. Although chiral terminal oxo-metal complexes of early transition metals are known, most of them are not effective agents for alkene epoxidations; instead, they serve as precursors for the more active peroxo-metal complexes. See, for example: Bolm, C.; Bienewald, F. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl. 1995, 34, 2640 and references therein. To our knowledge, reports on the isolation and characterization of reactive chiral metal-oxo complexes are mainly for ruthenium-oxo complexes. For sulfide oxidations, see:
