ChemInform Abstract: Organorhodium-Functionalized Periodic Mesoporous Organosilica: High Hydrophobicity Promotes Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation in Aqueous Medium.
An imidazolium-modified chiral rhodium/diamine-functionalized periodic mesoporous organosilica is developed, which greatly promotes asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of α-haloketones and benzils in aqueous medium.
Pd(0)–Ru(iii)/diamine-functionalized periodic mesoporous organosilica for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation–Sonogashira coupling of iodoacetophenone and arynes is investigated.
The polymer@silica composites with tunable outer and inner surface properties could efficiently catalyze the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones in aqueous medium.
