Enantioqure epoxides and corresponding vicinal diols are long recognized as highly valuable intermediates in organic chemistry. Recently, many efficient procedures for preparing these chiral buliding blocks have been developed. In this review, we focus on the recent development of using bio-approaches for synthesis of enantiopure epoxides.
