Abstract

Cross-linked styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer was functionalized into bidentate Schiff base bearing ligands. Immobilization of iron(III) on to the polymer matrix resulted in the synthesis of catalytically active metal complexes. These supported catalysts were found to be effective in the epoxidation of cis-cyclooctene and styrene in presence of tert-butylhydroperoxide under mild conditions. The influence of various reaction parameters on conversion and selectivity to products of epoxidation has been discussed.
