Abstract
Siliceous mesocellular foams (MCF) were partially surface-modified with trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups prior to the immobilization of chiral tert-butylbisoxazolines. The resulting MCF-supported bisoxazoline-Cu(I) catalyst showed superior enantioselectivity (up to 95% ee) in asymmetric cyclopropanation, compared to that supported on MCF without TMS precapping. This heterogenized catalyst also exhibited excellent recyclability.
