Enantioselective catalysis with a chiral, phosphane-containing PMO material

Abstract

A novel bistriethoxysilyl-BINAP monomer was prepared and co-condensed with a biphenylene-bridged siloxane precursor in the presence of surfactant templates to give periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) functionalized with BINAP. Complexation of ruthenium followed by asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation and asymmetric transfer hydrogenation were carried out, and demonstrated that high levels of activity and selectivity are achievable with the chiral material.
