Development of recyclable chiral macrocyclic metal complexes for asymmetric aminolysis of epoxides: application for the synthesis of an enantiopure oxazolidine ring
Keyword(s):
Macrocyclic Cr(iii)-salen complexes were synthesized for the ring opening reaction of various epoxides with anilines to furnish the corresponding β-amino-α-hydroxyl esters and β-amino alcohols with excellent ee/yield upto 99/95%.
