Abstract
New tetradentate chelates of bis-Schiff bases were synthesized and then these chiral salen ligands were immobilized over mesoporous MCM-41 by using the ion-exchange method. The efficiency of the chiral catalyst was examined in the asymmetric epoxidation of styrene. Chiral Mn(salen) complexes immobilized onto mesoporous MCM-41 were stable during the reaction without any leaching and exhibited relatively high enantioselectivity for epoxidation as compared with homogeneous complexes.
