PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF GLYCIDYL DERIVATIVES

There is provided a process for preparing a glycidyl derivative from 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol, comprising i) adding a phosphate salt to a solution into which 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol is dissolved into a solvent to produce glycidol, and ii) adding to the solution of step i) a base capable of releasing a glycidyl group from the glycidol and a substrate susceptible to nucleophilic attack to produce the desired glycidyl derivative by nucleophilic attack of the glycidyl group to the substrate.

Enantiopure poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate): A new material for supported catalytic asymmetric hydrogen transfer reduction

A novel copolymer containing chiral epoxy residues was prepared. Free radical initiated suspension copolymerization of (R)- or (S)-glycidyl methacrylate with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate afforded crosslinked copolymer 1 in high yield. Optically active polymers containing amino alcohol functionalities were then formed from 1 through epoxide ring opening with a number of achiral and homochiral amines. It was shown that ruthenium complexes based on these new polymeric amino alcohol ligands were effective catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogen transfer reduction of acetophenone.
