This communication describes the use of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) to prepare a new phase-selectively soluble, polymer-supported Cr^III salen catalyst. This catalyst was used to facilitate the asymmetric ring opening of cyclohexene oxide and could be recovered and reused up to 5 times using liquid/liquid separation techniques.
