Abstract:
Significant enhancement of the catalytic stability and activity was obtained for the heterogeneous palladium catalyst supported on the shell powders-reinforced chitosan microspheres. For example, over 90% cross-coupling yields were achieved using as low as 0.05 mol% palladium catalyst loading for the Heck-type reaction of iodobenzene with n-butyl acrylate. Such significant enhancement of the catalytic stability and activity can be attributed to the intermolecular interactions of the surface polar molecules of the incorporated shell powders with the surrounding chitosan molecules as well as the deposited palladium species.

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...
