Asymmetric hydrogenation using a covalently immobilized Ru-BINOL-AP@MSNs catalyst
Pratikkumar Lakhani, Chetan K. Modi
Abstract
Ru-BINOL-AP@MSNs catalyst was synthesized using a state-of-the-art pathway without protecting or deprotecting groups. It achieved 84% conversion in an asymmetric hydrogenation reaction, with enantioselectivity >90% of the R -isomer.
