摘要:
The controlled synthesis of calcium carbonate particles surface-functionalized with azido groups and its subsequent copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions with organocatalysts bearing alkyne anchors allowed the preparation of novel catalytic materials. A calcium carbonate-supported α,α-diarylprolinol silyl ether prepared in this manner catalyzes Michael addition of aldehydes to trans-β-nitrostyrenes with very high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. The immobilized catalyst can be recovered by simple decantation and reused. In addition, this heterogeneous catalytic system can also be adapted to continuous-flow operation, affording a five-fold productivity increase in comparison with the batch process.
