Studies on the syntheses of chiral ketones and iminium salts derived from the bicyclic terpenes camphor, camphorsulfonic acid, and a-pinene suitable for use as catalysts for olefin epoxidation are described. Synthetic targets derived from (1R)-(+)-camphor include 3-halo ketones, iminium salts, and 3-halo iminium salts. Synthetic targets derived (1S)-(+)-10-camphorsulfonic acid include 1,5-oxathiocan-3-one derivatives. Synthetic targets derived from (1R)-(+)-a-pinene include 1,4-dioxepan-6-one derivatives.
