Abstract
The Katsuki-type catalyst 2 has been recycled several times following its use in a model epoxidation reaction of 1,2-dihydronaphthalene in an ionic liquid, 3a or 3b. The enantioselectivity was comparable to that in dichloromethane, but recovery of the catalyst was easier, activity was higher, and activity and enantioselectivity were retained in recovered ionic liquid fractions to a much greater extent than those for the Jacobsen-type catalyst 1.
