Barry Sharpless was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize as a compliment to his great
contributions in the field of asymmetric epoxidation, which has been recognized as one of …

The first salen ligand and Cu complex were discovered in 1889, and gradually the potential
catalytic activity of subsequent salen species has been recognised, particularly in the case …

Enantioselective catalytic reactions in which the chirality of an asymmetric catalyst induces
the preferred formation of a given product enantiomer have been one of the most important …

Interest in green chemistry and clean processes has grown so much in recent years that
topics such as fluorous biphasic catalysis, metal organic frameworks, and process …

Homogeneous asymmetric catalysis is one of the most important developments in chemistry
in the past several decades. 1-4 Thousands of chiral ligands and their transition metal …

The use of polymer-supported reagents and scavengers provides an attractive and practical
method for the clean and efficient preparation of novel chemical libraries with potential …

From the perspective of the organic chemist, the relevance of polymers has changed and
evolved dramatically over the past half century. From their early use in peptide and …

Supported catalysis is emerging as a cornerstone of transition metal catalysis, as
environmental awareness necessitates “green” methodologies and transition metal …

This paper describes the synthesis of both soluble and insoluble polymer-supported chiral
(salen) Mn complexes and their use in asymmetric epoxidation reactions. These studies …

Chiral Mn (III) salen complex supported onto modified mesoporous supports (MCM-41 and
