Jørgensen-Hayashi catalysts supported on poly(ethylene glycol)s as highly efficient and reusable organocatalysts for the enamine-catalyzed asymmetric Michael reaction

Org Biomol Chem. 2015 Oct 7;13(37):9593-9. doi: 10.1039/c5ob01442e.

Abstract

A new kind of recyclable and reusable PEG-supported Jørgensen-Hayashi catalyst is synthesized for the first time and proven to be efficient for the enamine-catalyzed asymmetric Michael reaction with generally moderate to good diastereoselectivity and high to excellent enantioselectivity (up to 6 : 1 dr, 99% ee). The prepared PEG-supported catalyst can be recovered eight times and was found to provide similar diastereoselectivity and enantioselectivity to unsupported functional catalysts.
