The invention relates to a synthetic method of a (S,S)-salenCo(II) catalyst and application of the (S,S)-salenCo(II) catalyst in split of an end
epoxide compound. The filtrate of the intermediate (R,R)-cyclohexanediamine single salt of a (R,R)-salenCo(II) catalyst is used for synthesizing the (S,S)-cyclohexanediamine single salt; and the (S,S)-cyclohexanediamine single salt is further reacted with 3,5-di-tert-butyl
salicylaldehyde and
cobalt acetate in a single
solvent so as to obtain the (S,S)-salenCo(II) catalyst. With the adoption of the method, the waste, i.e. the intermediate (R,R)-single salt of the (R,R)-salenCo(II) catalyst, is changed into wealth; the single
solvent is used; the process is simple; the
reaction step is short; the yield is high, the industrialization is easy to achieve; the synthesized (S,S)-salenCo(II) catalyst is activated into a (S,S)-salenCo(III) catalyst with catalytic activation by using air directly in the end
epoxide compound; the mode of the (S,S)-salenCo(III) catalyst is synthesized by using the (S,S)-salenCo(II) catalyst is avoided; the splitting effect is the same as that of the method in which the (S,S)-salenCo(III) catalyst is used directly; and the obtained
chirality end
epoxide compound of which the e value is 99%e is obtained.
