Novel Heterogenized Catalysts for Asymmetric Ring-Opening Reactions of Epoxides

4 Novel Heterogenized Catalysts for Asymmetric Ring-Opening Reactions of Epoxides 

Epoxides are versatile building blocks for organic syntheses and are valuable intermediates for the stereocontrolled synthesis of complex organic compounds. 

The use of epoxides has expanded dramatically with the advent of practical asymmetric catalytic methods for their synthesis. Besides the enantioselective epoxida-tion of prochiral olefins, approaches for the use of epoxides in the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched compounds include the resolution of racemic epoxides. 

For this work, three types of mesoporous materials are the choice for the heterogenization of homogeneous catalysts Al-MCM-41, Al-MCM-48, and
