Abstract: ZSM-5 was modified by alkaline and acidic solution to introduce mesoporosity in the crystals. Heterogenized Co(III) salen was prepared in the mesopores of ZSM-5 by ‘ship-in-a-bottle’ method. Phenolic ring opening of epoxides was performed successfully by using encapsulated chiral salen catalysts. Very high enantioselectivity and conversion were obtained in PKR reaction by immobilized catalysts.
