Iron(II) efficiency : The iron complexes of N 4 ligands, derived from proline and benzimidazole, exhibited an unprecedented activity and enantioselectivity for the epoxidation of a variety of di‐ and trisubstituted enones (see scheme). This system, based on synthetic non‐heme iron catalysts, provides ready access to a wide range of epoxyketones of high enantiomeric purity.
