A novel layered organic polymer-inorganic hybrid zinc poly (styrene-phenylvinylphosphonate)-phosphate (ZnPS-PVPA) has been synthesized under mild conditions and diphenol-modified ZnPS-PVPA was used to successfully immobilize the chiral salen Mn(III) by axial coordination. The obtained heterogeneous chiral catalysts exhibited excellent activities and enantioselectivities using sodium periodate as an oxidant for asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins, especially for the epoxidation of a-methylstyrene (conversion: up to 97%; ee: exceed 99%). Moreover, these synthesized catalysts were relatively stable and could be expediently separated from the reaction system, and could be recycled at least ten times without obvious loss of activity and enantioselectivity. These novel catalysts could be efficiently used in large-scale reactions with the enantioselectivity being maintained at the same level, which offer a great possibility for application in industry.
