Homogeneous linear poly(tartrate ester) ligands provide high chemical
yields and enantiomeric excesses in the epoxidation of trans-hex-2-en-
1-ol using Ti(OPri)(4)-tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Branched poly(tartrat
e ester) can be use as heterogeneous ligands in the epoxidation of tra
ns-hex-2-en-1-ol using Ti(OPri)(4)-tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Removal a
nd recovery of the polymer catalyst is a simple filtration at the end
of reactions.
