在手性聚α-氨基酸催化下，缺电子烯烃在氧化剂（过氧化氢或过氧化脲）氧化下得到单一构型的环氧化物的反应。此反应通常在碱性条件下进行。

反应机理

反应属于亲核环氧化，底物中没有吸电子基团的话反应不能进行。

反应实例

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.
