Enantioselective ring-opening of meso-epoxides by aromatic amines catalyzed by a homochiral metal–organic framework†
Abstract
The enantioselective ring-opening of meso-epoxides by aromatic amines was achieved by using a new chiral metal–organic framework UTSA-32a. The corresponding α-hydroxyamines were obtained with good yields and ee values (up to 89% ee).
