Terminal, non-conjugated olefins, such as 1-octene, are difficult to epoxidize asymmetrically. Ti salalen complexes based on cis-1,2- diaminocyclohexane catalyze this demanding reaction giving high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 95 % ee), with H2O2 as the oxidant. The X-ray structures of the μ-oxo and peroxo complexes shed light on the coordination behavior of this novel class of ligands.
