A novel type of phosphonate-containing polystyrene copolymers 1a-e bearing an N’-alkylated TsDPEN chiral ligand and double-stranded polystyrene chains were prepared for the first time using simple radical copolymerization of 1-phosphonate styrene with (R,R)-N’-4′-vinylbenzyl-N-4-vinylbenzenesulfonyl-1,2-diphenylethylene-1,2-diamine. Through the coprecipitation of their supported Ru polystyrene copolymers 2a-e and NaH2PO4 with ZrOCl2, pillared hybrid zirconium phosphate-phosphonate-anchored Ru catalysts 3a-e and 4d1-d5 were obtained as heterogeneous catalysts suitable for aqueous asym. transfer hydrogenation. In the aqueous asym. transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones, the anchored Ru catalysts showed good catalytic activities, chemoselectivities (∼100%), and enantioselectivities (73.6% ee to 95.6% ee). The Ru catalysts retained their catalytic properties even at the fifth recycle time (92.2% conv., 92.1% ee). However, corresponding supported Ru catalyst 3d’ resulted in disappointing reusability because of the loss of ruthenium in every recycle process. The conversions of aromatic ketones were closely related to the o-, m- or p-positions of the substituents on the aromatic ring caused by shape-selective matching. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (R)-1-(3-Chlorophenyl)ethanol (cas: 120121-01-9Electric Literature of C8H9ClO).
(R)-1-(3-Chlorophenyl)ethanol (cas: 120121-01-9) belongs to alcohols. Alkyl halides are often synthesized from alcohols, in effect substituting a halogen atom for the hydroxyl group. Converting an alcohol to an alkene requires removal of the hydroxyl group and a hydrogen atom on the neighbouring carbon atom. Dehydrations are most commonly carried out by warming the alcohol in the presence of a strong dehydrating acid, such as concentrated sulfuric acid.Electric Literature of C8H9ClO
