    Abstract: [Problems] To provide an efficient process for producing an optically active epoxy compound. [Means For Solving Problems] The process for producing an optically active epoxy compound comprises asymmetrically epoxidizing an unsaturated compound with an oxidizing agent in the presence of an optically active titanium-salen complex, an optically active titanium-salalen complex or an optically active titanium-salan complex, with addition of a buffering agent or a buffer solution. The process can inhibit catalyst degradation, reduce the amount of the catalyst used in the reaction, and inhibit a by-product, compared with the prior art, and can provide an optically active epoxy compound in high chemical yield and optical yield and with high quality, and therefore is an industrially useful process.

  • Patent number: 7294738
    Abstract: The present invention discloses novel steroid mimics wherein a tri- or tetravalent phosphorous atom is isosterically substituted at any one of the seventeen positions occupied by the carbon atom in the steroidal skeleton, and wherein each adjacent position to the phosphorous is either unsubstituted or optionally substituted by nitrogen or an oxygen atom to satisfy the valency of said phosphorous atom. The invention is illustrated schematically below using both aromatic and non-aromatic steroids. Although the isosteric substitution phosphorous atom in the above structures 3–7 is indicated at 13, 14, and 17 positions, it is to be noted that the phosphorous can be substituted at any one of the seventeen positions in non-aromatic or eleven positions in aromatic steroids. The phosphorous atom may be trivalent or tetravalent, and may be radioactive or non-radioactive. The adjacent atoms, X, Y, or Z may be carbon, oxygen, or nitrogen.
