Abstract

Chiral Mn(salen) complexes were axially immobilized onto rigid polystyrene resin. The polymer-immobilized Mn(salen) catalysts 2 and 4 gave comparable or even higher ee values than their homogeneous counterparts for the asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctional olefins [for example, 55.0% ee vs. 74.0% ee (eq. 1) and 26.4% vs. 76.9% ee (eq. 2)]. The heterogeneous Mn(salen) catalysts were readily recycled and reused.
