Polymer supported copper sulphate promoted aminolysis of epoxides with aromatic amines

An alkylamine functional, insoluble and cross-linked polymer support was prepared by reacting a glycidyl group containing polymer with ethylenediamine. A polymer metal complex of this polymer and copper sulphate was then prepared. This complex could be used as a heterogeneous catalyst to afford a rapid, efficient and mild method for synthesis of β-aminoalcohols by aminolysis of epoxides.
