| Abstract: | Novel bimetallic chiral Co (salen) complexes bearing transition‐metal salts have been synthesized. The easily prepared complexes exhibited very high catalytic reactivity and enantioselectivity in hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of racemic terminal epoxides and consequently provided enantiomerically enriched epoxides (up to 99% ee). |
