Abstract:
Supported catalysts have become valuable tools for simplified product isolation and catalyst recycling. The common method is covalent attachment to a solid support. An alternative strategy is to immobilize catalysts by non-covalent bonding through hydrogen bridges, ionic, hydrophobic or fluorous interactions. Compared to covalent attachment, such non-covalent approaches increase the flexibility in the choice of the support-material, reaction conditions and work-up strategies. Numerous catalytic reactions employing one of these non-covalent fixation strategies have meanwhile appeared in the literature.

Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
