Abstract A new chiral polymer–metal complex, polysulfostyrene–gelatin–cobalt complex (PSS–GE–Co) has been prepared and found to be able to catalyze the asymmetric hydration of allyl alcohol to give (S)‐(−)‐1,2‐propanediol in 98% yield with 98.9% optical yield. The catalyst is very stable and can be reused without any remarkable effect in catalytic activity and optical selectivity. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
