Abstract

Enantiomerically pure epoxides (99%, ee) and diols (98%, ee) from racemic epichlorohydrin, 1,2‐epoxypropane, 1,2‐epoxyhexane, 1,2‐epoxyoctane, and 1,2‐epoxydodecane were obtained in 2–12 h by hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) using the recyclable dimeric homochiral Co(III)–salen complex 1′ (0.2 mol %) derived from 5,5‐(2′,2′‐dimethylpropane)‐di‐[(R,R)‐{N‐(3‐tert‐butylsalicylidine)‐N′‐(3′,5′‐di‐tert‐butylsalicylidine)}‐1,2‐cyclohexanediamine] with cobalt(II) acetate. Unlike its monomeric version, the catalyst could be recycled several times without loss in performance. The use of BF~4~ as counter ion in HKR reactions was also investigated. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract A chiral, bimetallic cobalt(III)salen‐calix[4]arene hybrid structure was prepared and tested in the hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of racemic epoxides. Kinetic studies have revealed that the two catalytic units on the upper rim of the calixarene scaffold are able to activate the re
