Abstract:
Simple palladium complexes were heterogenized into red algae derived polysaccharide supports, and the effects of polysaccharide, catalyst and solvent types on the performances in a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction were tested. It was found that using palladium salts with sodium triphenylphosphine trisulfonate (TPPTS) as a ligand supported on ι-carrageenans and ethanol as the solvent yielded the best systems. Moreover, the conversion rates of these heterogeneous systems were higher than their homogeneous analogues, and they were easily recycled five times. SEM-EDS analysis of Pd(OAc)2(TPPTS)2 that was immobilized on ι-carrageenan support was also performed, demonstrating that the system has a porous structure composed of Pd complex that was embedded within the ι-carrageenan. In addition, both ι-Pd(OAc)2(TPPTS)2 and ι-Pd(OAc)2 systems, were composed of nanoparticles, as proven by TEM analysis.

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.
