Abstract
Two series of Schiff base dioxomolybdenum (VI) complexes of the general formula [MoO2(L)(MeOH)] (L = D-glucosamine-derived Schiff base) have been synthesised, characterised and their asymmetric catalytic activities evaluated through the epoxidation of styrene. The molybdenum complexes with acetyl-protected D-glucosamine Schiff base ligands exhibited higher enanatioselectivity than those with unprotected sugar ligands. Protecting D-glucosamine by acetyl groups is an effective way to improve asymmetric catalytic epoxidation activities.
