Tris(d,d-dicampholylmethanato) iron (III) complex, Fe(dCM)(3), was found to be an excellent catalyst for asymmetric oxygenation of styrene analogues into the corresponding epoxides. Good chemical yields and higher enantioselectivity were obtained with combined use of molecular oxygen and an aldehyde at 30 degrees C. Some factors influencing enantioselectivity were discussed.
