Catalytic enantioselective desymmetrization of meso-epoxides is widely used in many areas of chemistry. Such process is usually catalyzed by a transition metal complex with a chiral ligand. Recently, a synthesis of an analogue of Bolm's 2,2'-bipyridine ligand was developed and its combination with metal salts were tested in various reactions. In this master's thesis, a catalytic system composed of Sc(OTf)3/Bolm's ligand analogue was studied in alcoholysis and aminolysis of the meso- epoxides. The reaction has been extended to a broad range of alcohols providing 1,2-diol monoethers in excellent enantioselectivity up to 99% ee. The aminolysis of meso-epoxides has been optimized, as well. The catalyst loading could be lowered to 1 mol% with only marginal effects on the enantioselectivity. Key words: epoxides, enantioselective catalysis, chiral ligands.
