  • Chiral porphyrins, chiral metalloporphyrins, and methods for synthesis of the same
    Patent number: 7417142
    Abstract: Novel methods of synthesizing heteroatom-containing chiral porphyrins and chiral metalloporphyrins and the novel chiral porphyrins and chiral metalloporphyrins themselves are disclosed. Metal complexes of the chiral porphyrins are prepared in high yields and shown to be active catalysts for highly enantioselective and diastereoselective cyclopropanation, aziridination, and epoxidation of alkenes under a practical one-pot protocol.
