For use as a chiral auxiliary in the Sharpless enantioselective epoxidation of allylic alcohols, see tert-Butyl- hydroperoxide. For Sharpless-type enantioselective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides, see: Org. Synth. Coll., 8, 464 (1993).
For use as a chiral auxiliary in the enantioselective construction of cyclopropanes from allylic alcohols by an asymmetric Simmons-Smith reaction, see: Chem. Lett., 61 (1992). For a review of the use of tartrate esters as chiral auxiliaries, e.g. in the Simmons-Smith reaction and in 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions, see: Synlett, 1075 (2003).
