Significance
The use of a chiral scandium bipyridine complex (1 mol%) was shown to give high enantioselectivities for the opening of meso-epoxides with water as the sole solvent. The use of scandium tris(dodecyl sulfate) as the scandium source was found to give much better yield and enantioselectivity than scandium triflate. Various anilines and their derivatives were shown to give consistently good results with cis-stilbene as the epoxide substrate. Highest enantioselectivities were obtained for 1,2-bisaryl epoxides.
