Abstract As a monomer, the [N-(alanine)] para-styrene sulfonamide (ASS) was prepared, from the reaction of para-styrene sulfonyl chloride and (S)-(+)-alanine in the presence of KOH 1M as a base, and CH3Cl was used as solvent. The monomer confirmed using FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Polystyrene [N-(alanine) sulfonamide] (PASS) was also prepared from the polymerization of [N-(alanine)] pa...

The rational design, synthesis, and validation of a significantly improved insoluble polymer-supported siloxane-transfer agent has been achieved that permits efficient palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The cross-linked polystyrene support facilitates product purification with excellent siloxane recycling. Drawbacks of a previous polymer-supported siloxane-transfer agent, relating to...

Bbstract Recent developments involving polymer-supported metal complexes as catalysts in oxidation reactions, using dioxygen, hydrogen peroxide, alkyl hydroperoxides, hypochlorite anion and iodosobenzene as oxidants are reviewed. binding of dioxygen, and in catalysis, along with the structurally closely related metallo-phthalocyanines, oxidative polymerization catalysed by polymer-supported cop...

Novel dual-porous carbon-supported palladium nanoparticle (Pd NP) catalysts were prepared by sequential carbonization and reduction of microporous organic polymer-encaged PdCl2. The diverse pore structure of microporous organic polymers provides a reservoir for the palladium precursors and prevents Pd NPs from sintering during the carbonization and reaction. The microporous structure has a sign...

A novel heterogeneous transition-metal catalyst comprising a polymer-supported terpyridine palladium(II) complex was prepared and found to promote the Suzuki-Miyaura, Mizoroki-Heck, Sonogashira, and Tsuji-Trost, reactions in water under aerobic conditions with a high to excellent yield. The catalyst was recovered by simple filtration and directly reused several times without loss of catalytic a...

Indirect reductive amination of aldehydes, catalyzed by polymer supported triphenylphosphine-palladium acetate complex PS-TPP-Pd(OAc)2 catalyst have been developed. The imine is prepared with molecular sieves in the first stage, followed by reduction with potassium formate catalyzed by PS-TPP-Pd(OAc)2. The recovered catalyst could be reused for four consecutive cycles without loss in activity a...
