Abstract:
Chiral polymeric Mn(III) salen complexes were used efficiently for oxidative kinetic resolution of racemic secondary alcohols at room temperature. High chiral purity (ee; >99%) was achieved for the oxidative kinetic resolution of racemic secondary alcohols with 0.6 mol % catalyst loading in 60 min. The catalyst was easily recycled for five successive catalytic experiments.
