The present invention relates to new chiral salen catalysts and the preparation method of chiral compounds from racemic epoxides using the same. More specifically, it relates to new chiral salen catalysts that have high catalytic activity due to new molecular structures and have no or little racemization of the generated target chiral compounds even after the reaction is completed and can be also reused without catalyst regeneration treatment, and its economical preparation method to mass manufacture chiral compounds of high optical purity, which can be used as raw materials for chiral food additives, chiral drugs, or chiral crop protection agents, etc., using the new chiral salen catalysts.
