Polymeric analogs of well-known chiral Mn(III)-salen complexes were synthesized and were used as recyclable catalysts for asymmetric epoxidation of olefins. For this purpose two different monomers, 2 and 3, bearing chiral Mn(III)-salen moieties were synthesized. The monomer 3 carries a bulky substituent closer to the Schiff base moiety, while monomer 2 lacks such a substituent. These metal complexed chiral monomers were subsequently copolymerized with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate producing insoluble crosslinked functional matrices that possess macroporous morphology. Chemo- and enantioselective catalytic activities of these two polymers were evaluated for epoxidation of olefins. Both polymers catalyzed the epoxidation of a variety of olefins at room temperature in the presence of iodosylbenzene (PhIO) as the terminal oxidant with yields comparable to the homogenous system. In terms of their enantioselective catalytic activity, polymer P-2 (obtained from 3) performed better than polymer P-1 (obtained from 2). Unfortunately, while the homogeneous systems are reported to offer over 80% enantioselectivity, with the present polymeric catalysts, enantioselectivity to a maximum of 30% were observed. Unlike the homogeneous system, use of an external nitrogenous donor played a very insignificant role in influencing enantioselectivity.

Abstract An unprecedented selectivity and reactivity in heterogeneous asymmetric catalytic dihydroxylation (AD) of olefins has been achieved using 3,6-(9- O -bisdihydroquinyl) pyridazine and 3,6-(9- O -bisdihydroquinidyl)pyridazine immobilized on ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate polymer backbone.

Abstract Immobilization of 3,6-bis(9-O-dihydroquinyl)pyridazine and 3,6-bis(9-O-dihydroquinidyl) pyridazine on silica gel support has been reported. The use of immobilized auxiliary has lead to comparable rate with that of the homogeneous catalytic AD of alkenes, however with lower ee.

The preparation of highly diastereo- and enantiomerically enriched alkoxycarbonyl-substituted tetracarbonyl (η3-allyl)iron(1+) complexes 2a–d (2a–c: 20–53%, de > 90- ⩾ 95% or greater; 2d: 31–40%, ee ⩾ 99%) by means of an auxiliary controlled complexation (aux. = 8-phenylmenthyl) of diastereo- or of enantiopure (E)-configuration enoates 1 as starting materials is reported. The nucleophilic addition of various silyl enol ethers or silyl ketene acetals 3a–e to the complexes 2a–d followed by oxidative cleavage of the carbonyliron fragment offers an efficient access to 6-oxoenoates 4 in moderate to excellent yields (five steps, 5–72%) with diastereomeric or enantiomeric excesses ranging from de > 90- ⩾ 95% (4a–f) or ee ⩾ 96- ⩾ 99% (4g–k) with retention of the (E)-double bond geometry. The reaction proceeds with virtually complete chirality transfer from C-O via C-Fe to C-C with retention (double inversion) of stereochemistry of the stereogenic centre with respect to the starting material 1. It has been proven that a uniform configuration of the carbon atom bearing the leaving group in 1 is essential for controlling the absolute stereochemistry during the formation of complexes of type 2 with a definite absolute configuration at the allylic position.
