	abstract = {<p>A heterogenized organocatalyst was synthesized by the covalent anchoring; of the complex chloro (S,S)(-)[N-3-tert-butyl-5-chloromethyl salicylidene]-N{\textquoteright}-[3{\textquoteright},5{\textquoteright}-di-tert-butyl salicylidene] 1,1{\textquoteright}-binapthyl-2,2{\textquoteright}-diamine manganese(III) over modified mesoporous surface of SBA-15 through the reactive 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (3-APTMS) group. The surface properties of the functionalized catalyst were analyzed by a series of characterization techniques such as elemental analysis, XRD, N-2 sorption measurement isotherm, FT-IR, TGA-DTA, XPS, and solid state C-13 NMR. The XRD and N-2 sorption measurement, UV reflectance and CP MAS NMR spectroscopy (C-13 and Si-29) of the catalyst confirmed the structural integrity of the mesoporous hosts and the spectroscopic characterization technique proved the successful anchoring of the metal complex over the modified mesoporous support. The screening of the catalyst Mn(III)-L-SBA-15 and neat Mn(III)-L complexes was done in the oxidation reaction of thioanisole (methyl phenyl sulfide) by using TBHP as an oxidant. Mn(III)-L-SBA-15 catalyst shows higher activities and turnover number (TON) and exhibit enhanced enantiomeric excess comparable to homogeneous catalyst [Mn(III)-L]. [Mn(III)-L-SBA-15] catalyst was found more active than homogeneous catalyst [Mn(III)-L]; Moreover bulkier alkene like 1,2-dihydronapthalene was also efficiently epoxidised with the synthesized supported catalyst.
