Polystyrene Resins Incorporating BINOL Units: New Materials For Asymmetric Catalysis
摘要:
The radical crosslinking polymerization of styrene with (R)-divinyl-BINOL derivatives results in the formation of reticulated polystyrene networks containing protected (R)-BINOL entities at each junction of the polystyrene chains, The generation of polystyrene-immobilized free (R)-BINOL was performed by cleaving the protecting ether groups under acidic conditions. The resulting materials containing optically active BINOL units were tested as chiral ligands in the enantio-selective addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. The catalytic properties of the polymer gels were shown to be highly dependent on the degree of reticulation: in the best cases, the resins incorporating (R)-BINOL units showed activities and selectivities similar to those of molecular (R)-BINOL.
