Efficient magnetic and recyclable SBILC (supported basic ionic liquid catalyst)-based heterogeneous organocatalysts for the asymmetric epoxidation of trans-methylcinnamate

A green alternative, based on the use of an efficient and recyclable chiral ketone@SBILC@MWCNT@Fe 3 O 4 catalytic system ( Y = 35%, S = 100% and ee = 100%), was developed for the asymmetric epoxidation of trans -methylcinnamate to (2 R ,3 S )-phenyl glycidate. A green heterogeneous catalytic alternative was developed for the asymmetric epoxidation of trans -methylcinnamate to (2 R ,3 S )-phenyl glycidate.
