A New Mn–Salen Micellar Nanoreactor for Enantioselective Epoxidation of Alkenes in Water

A new chiral Mn–salen catalyst, functionalized with a long aliphatic chain and a choline group, able to act as surfactant catalyst for green epoxidation in water, is here described. This catalyst was employed with a commercial surfactant (CTABr) leading to a nanoreactor for the enantioselective epox...
