A modified cinchona alkaloid was grafted onto a mesoporous molecular sieve
and onto amorphous silica gel. These heterogeneous ligands were employed in
the asymmetric dihydroxylation of olefins under Sharpless conditions. The
supported ligands yielded equivalent enantioselectivity compared with that
of the homogeneous system and were easily recovered and reused.
