A novel heterogeneous catalyst, [Zn(2.15)Al(0.86)(OH)(6.02)]MnC(6)H(5)COOO, where [[Mn]= chiral sulfonato(-)salen-manganese(iii) complex, Na(2)MnC(20)H(22)N(2)S(2)O(12)Cl, intercalated into Zn(II)-Al(III) layered double hydroxide host], has been synthesized and found to be an effective heterogeneous catalyst for the stereoselective epoxidation of R-(+)-limonene using molecular oxygen. The catalyst could be recycled without loss of performance.
