Abstract:
Polymer-supported selenium has been reported as a heterogeneous catalyst that is easily separated from the reaction system, thereby making the recovery and reuse of the catalyst more convenient. However, the utilization of polymer-supported selenium in the preparation of catalysts is not restricted to the aforementioned technical advantages. Recent studies have shown that polymer-supported selenium and small-molecule organoselenium catalysts have significant performance differences, leading to distinct reaction mechanisms, which offer more opportunities for the development of new organic reactions.

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...
