Ionic liquid-functionalized graphene oxide as an efficient support for the chiral salen Mn(<scp>iii</scp>) complex in asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins

Abstract

Chiral salen Mn(<sc>iii</sc>) complex covalently grafted on IL-functionalized GO sheet, was a highly efficient, universal and reusable catalyst for asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins using aqueous NaOCl as an oxidant.
