Abstract

Abstract The immobilization of chiral oxazaborolidine complex in the well-ordered mesochannels of SBA-15 is demonstrated by a postsynthetic approach using 3- aminopropyltriethoxysilane as a reactive surface modifier. The immobilized catalysts are characterized by various techniques, such as XRD, nitrogen adsorption, HRSEM, UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and FTIR spectroscopy. The catalysts are used for the ...
