Abstract
Abstract Homogeneous tridentate Schiff base vanadium catalysts derived from salicylaldehydes and tert ‐leucinol or tert ‐leucine are known to be excellent catalysts for the asymmetric oxidation of α‐hydroxy esters including ethyl mandelate. Herein, new analogous supported, semi‐soluble and insoluble catalysts are synthesized and their activities relative to the homogeneous catalyst are reported. The new catalysts are characterized by 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (EI, ESI, FAB), X‐ray crystallography, elemental analysis, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy, and nitrogen physisorption. The effects of support material, synthesis procedure, and reaction solvent are examined to probe the utility of these catalysts. Linear poly(styrene) supported catalysts are partially soluble under the reaction conditions, and it is shown that the soluble species contribute significantly to the catalytic reactivity. Insoluble catalysts based on the same vanadyl complexes supported on cross‐linked poly(styrene) resin or mesoporous silica allow for catalyst recovery and recycle, showing equivalent selectivities over multiple reaction cycles. The mesoporous silica supported catalyst exhibits greater selectivity than the analogous homogeneous and polymer supported catalysts. Rigorous recycle studies show a loss of activity in each recycle, which is attributed to the decomposition of some portion of the vanadyl complexes in each cycle.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
