  1. aReaction condition: 1a (0.05 mmol), catalyst (2 mol%), oxometallate (2 mol%), additive (0.5 equiv.) and H2O2 (1.2 equiv.) in 1.0 mL iPr2O at 0 °C for 36 hours, bIsolated yield, cDetermined by HPLC analysis on a chiral stationary phase, d0.3 equiv. KHSO4 and 25% H2O2 were used, e8 mol% BG5 and 4 mol% Ag2MoO4 were used. BG: bisguanidinium.
