Heterogeneous asymmetric epoxidation of cis-allylic alcohols with tita
nium isopropoxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide has been achieved using
a branched/crosslinked poly(tartrate ester) ligand. The enantioselect
ivities and chemical yields obtained are at least comparable to low mo
lecular weight tartrate ligands, (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Scienc
