By using iodosylbenzene as oxidant, Katsuki obtained 56% ee and 32% yield in epoxidation of trans-β-methylstyrene with 2.5 mol% of a Mn-salen catalyst and 10 equiv. of 2-methylimidazole.3d We are currently studying epoxidation catalyzed by the hybrid catalysts using different oxidants and additive donor ligands.
