An organocatalytic asymmetric epoxidation reaction using iminium salt catalysts is described, in which the stoichiometric persulfate oxidant is generated electrochemically. This system offers comparable ee s to the use of commercially available persulfate. Electrochemically generated percarbonate ion is also a successful and novel oxidant system for use with iminium salts.
