在手性聚α-氨基酸催化下，缺電子烯烴在氧化劑（過氧化氫或過氧化脲）氧化下得到單一構型的環(huán)氧化物的反應。此反應通常在堿性條件下進行。
反應機理
反應屬于親核環(huán)氧化，底物中沒有吸電子基團的話反應不能進行。
反應實例
Catalyst (1). To a solution of N-carboxy-L-alanine anhydride (2.5 g, 21.7 mmol) in anh MeCN (50 mL) was added MeCN (20 mL with 0.43 mmol H2O). After 4 days stirring at 20 C the solvent was removed in vacuum and the residue stirred for 24 h in Et2O, filtered and dried.
Epoxide (3). To a solution of chalcone 2 (500 mg, 2.4 mmol) in PhMe (6 mL) was added 1 (400 mg) and then the mixture was stirred for 30 min at 20 C. The mixture was added to a solution of NaOH in H2O2 (0.08 g/mL, 4.4 mL) and stirred for 24 h. The reaction was monitored by TLC (silica gel, PE:Et2O 9:1). Usual workup and chromatography afforded 494 mg of 3 (92%, 96% ee).

Epoxide (5). To I-PLL(immobilized poly-L-leucine, 7 g) in THF (50 mL) were added DBU (4.1 mL, 27.48 mmol) and UHP (Urea hydrogen peroxide)
(2.07 g, 21.98 mmol). Under stirring was added 4 (4.01 g, 18.37 mmol), followed after 3 h by a second quantity of DBU and UHP. Separation of the epoxide 3.20 g of 5 (70% yield from 4), mp 53–55 C, 96% ee.
