Chemistry · L5 · Sharpless Asymmetric Epoxidation Face-Selectivity
How the chiral tartrate ligand bound to titanium blocks one face of an anchored allylic alcohol's double bond, so the peroxide oxidant (TBHP) can only deliver oxygen to the open face — the same blocking logic as the quadrant model, at a titanium center instead of Rh/Ru.
