Title:
OPTICALLY ACTIVE TITANIUM-SALAN COMPOUNDS AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/013809
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are optically active titanium-salan compounds useful for asymmetric epoxidation and a process for efficient production thereof. In isolating an optically active titanium-salan compound useful for asymmetric epoxidation as a di-μ-oxo titanium salan complex, the complex has been found to be present as a mixture of three geometrical isomers.  By comparing the catalytic performances of the major two of the three geometrical isomers, it has been found that the homochiral complex gives a higher ultimate yield than that of the pseudo-heterochiral complex in asymmetric epoxidation.  In the production of optically active titanium -salan compounds, therefore, a study has been made on production technique which enables efficient formation of a homochiral complex of an optically active titanium-salan compound and which makes it possible to exclude a pseudo-heterochiral complex of an optically active titanium-salan compound as completely as possible, the homochiral complex being represented by the general formula (A) or (A’) and being superior to the pseudo-heterochiral complex in catalytic performance.  As a result, a technique for producing a homochiral complex of an optically active titanium-salan compound efficiently in a high isolation yield and with high chemical purity has been established by using a nitrile-, ether-, or aromatic hydrocarbon-type organic solvent in the production of the titanium-salan compound.
