Highly enantioselective epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins catalyzed by a novel recyclable chiral poly-salen–Mn(iii) complex
Abstract
A new soluble recyclable poly-salen–Mn(III) complex has been synthesized and found to give high enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee) for the asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins.
