A novel chiral porous metal–organic framework: asymmetric ring opening reaction of epoxide with amine in the chiral open space

摘要

A novel chiral metal–organic framework, [Cu2(5,5'-BDA)2] wassynthesized by treating chiral 2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphthalene-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid (5,5'-H2BDA) with a Cu(II)ion, in which the asymmetric ring opening reaction of an epoxide with amine proceeds efficiently under solvent-free conditions.
