Abstract: An enantioselective nucleophilic epoxidation of 2-substituted 1,4-naphthoquinones in the presence of a newly developed guanidine-bisurea bifunctional organocatalyst with tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant is presented. 1,4-Naphthoquinones bearing substituents at C6, C7, and C2 were… read more here.
