41. Although our reaction was carried out at -50 °C rather than room temperature, we believe that temperature does not have a great effect on the enantioselectivity. Indeed, we have shown that, whereas epoxidation at -50 °C gives a product with 92% ee. the corresponding reaction at room temperature resulted in an epoxide with 87% ee (see Table 3 and ref 33).
