Chiral salen Mn (III) immobilized on ZnPS-PVPA through alkoxyl-triazole for superior performance catalyst in asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins

摘要

Chiral salen Mn (III) catalysts anchored onto ZnPS-PVPA via click chemistry are prepared and applied in asymmetric epoxidations of unfunctionalized olefins. Superior catalytic performances (conv%, up to >99; ee%, up to >99) are achieved in the epoxidations of alpha-methylstyrene, styrene, indene and 1-octene. According to 6-cyano-2,2-dimethylchromene and 6-nitro-2,2-dimethylchromene, configuration of epoxides are reversed. And then the catalysts are selective in not only oxidative systems, but also substrates. Moreover, superior reusability (yield, 82%; ee, 86%) after recycling for nine times could also be obtained, which provide the potential application in industry. (c) 2019 Elsevier B.V.
