Immobilization of pybox ligand on modified starch
Starch, one of the most abundant natural polymer was used as Support for chiral pyridine-bis(oxazoline) ligand. The corresponding ruthenium complex was used as catalyst in cyclopropanation reaction of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate. Yield, diaster-eoisomeric excess and enantiomeric excess kept constant after 3 runs.
