Abstract
The synthesis of the first mesoporous silica (150 A) anchored carbohydrate-derived chiral ketone is described. This new heterogeneous catalyst has been shown to be effective in the asymmetric epoxidation of olefins by oxone. The heterogeneous ketone catalyst has comparable activity to that of its homogeneous counterpart and returned enantioselectivities up to 90% e.e.
