The history of the development of useful catalyst systems for the asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes is described. An overview is presented of the present state of understanding of the mechanism of the most successful catalysts to date, metal-salen complexes. Recent results from the chromium-salen series are presented and their implications for the mechanism are discussed..
