A series of soluble, noncross-linked polystyrene-supported tri-phenylphosphane and 4-dimethylaminopyridine reagents were prepared. Some of these polymeric reagents contained either alkyl alcohol or phenol groups on the polymer backbone. The use of these materials as organocatalysts in a range of Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions indicated that hydroxyl groups could participate in the reactions and accelerate product formation. In the cases examined, phenol groups were more effective than alkyl alcohol groups for catalyzing the reactions. This article is one of the first reports of the synthesis and use of non-natural, bifunctional polymeric reagents for use in organic synthesis in which both functional groups can cooperatively participate in the catalysis of reactions.

Cross-linked polystyrene (PS) with polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF) chains were prepared for use in solid phase organic synthesis (SPOS). The resins were prepared from styrene, styrene-PTHF macromonomers and cross-linkers 1,4-bis[4-vinylphenoxy]butane or divinylbenzene by suspension polymerization. The styrene-PTHF macromonomers were prepared by cationic polymerization of 4-vinylbenzyl bromide and 4-(4-vinylphenoxy)butyl iodide activated by silver hexafluoroantimonate and 4-(5-hydroxypentyl)styrene activated by triflic anhydride. Alternatively, polytetrahydrofuran-grafted polystyrene (PS-PTHF) resins could also be directly prepared from 5-hydroxypentyl JandaJel by cationic polymerization using triflic anhydride as the initiator. These PS-PTHF resins exhibited good swelling characteristics across a wide spectrum of polar and non-polar solvents. These resins were used in the synthesis of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-one, which requires β-ketoester formation at low temperature (-78°C), resulting in good yield and product purity; whereas the same synthesis carried out on PEG-grafted PS (PS-PEG) resin resulted in incomplete synthesis.

High refractive index transparent nanocomposites have been developed by in situ polymerization of a precursor that contains functional monomers and surface modified anatase TiO2 nanoparticles for optoelectronic applications. The monomers are in the liquid form, so environmentally friendly solventless precursors can be prepared. The precursor can be processed into various shapes or thick films (>50 microns) of the nanocomposite. The relationships of the chemical structure of the organic matrix, nanoparticle content and dispersity with the refractive index, transparency, mechanical and thermal properties are systematically investigated. The refractive index, and mechanical and thermal properties of the nanocomposite are increased with increasing TiO2 content and aromatic structure in the organic matrix due to their rigid characteristics. The transparency of the nanocomposite is increased with increasing TiO2 content and dispersity. At the same loading of nanoparticles, the higher dispersity and the better transparency are due to the less extent of Rayleigh scattering. At 18 vol% (60 wt%) of TiO2, the acetic acid modified TiO2/poly(4-vinyl benzyl alcohol) nanocomposite has a refractive index of 1.73 and excellent transparency (>85% from 500 nm to 800 nm). The refractive index of the nanocomposite can be further increased to 1.77 by replacing aliphatic acetic acid modified TiO2 with aromatic phenyl acetic acid modified TiO2. The results of this work provide new knowledge and a new pathway to design a polymer based high refractive index material.

Optimization of polystyrene-supported triphenylphosphine catalysts for aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions
Zhao, Lin-Jing,Kwong, Cathy Kar-Wing,Shi, Min,Toy, Patrick H.
, p. 12026 - 12032 (2005)
A series of polar group functionalized polystyrene-supported phosphine reagents were examined as catalysts in the aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reactions of N-tosyl arylimines and a variety of Michael acceptors with the aim of identifying the optimal polymer/solvent combination. For these reactions JandaJel-PPh3 (1 mmol PPh3/g loading) resin containing methoxy groups (JJ-OMe-PPh3) on the polystyrene backbone in THF solvent provided the highest yield of all the catalyst/solvent combinations examined. The methyl ether groups were incorporated into JJ-OMe-PPh3 using commercially available 4-methoxystyrene, and thus such polar polystyrene resins are easily accessible and should find utility as nucleophilic catalyst supports.

Ceria (CeO2)-supported metal catalysts have been widely utilized for various single-step chemical transformations. However, using such catalysts for a multistep organic reaction in one reaction system has rarely been achieved. Here, we investigate multiple active sites on Pd?CeO2 catalysts and optimize them for a multistep reaction of C?C cross-coupling and alcohol oxidation. Atomic-level imaging and spectroscopic studies reveal that metallic Pd0 and Pd?CeO2 interface are active sites on Pd?CeO2 for C?C cross-coupling and oxidation, respectively. These active sites are controlled under the structural evolution of Pd?CeO2 during reductive heat-treatments. Accordingly, we found that optimally reduced Pd?CeO2 catalysts containing ~1.5 nm-sized Pd nanoclusters with both sites in balance are ideal for multistep chemical transformations in one reaction system. Our strategy to design supported metal catalysts leads to one-pot sequential synthetic protocols for pharmaceutical building blocks.
In-situ facile synthesis novel N-doped thin graphene layer encapsulated Pd@N/C catalyst for semi-hydrogenation of alkynes

Transition metal-catalyzed semi-hydrogenation of alkynes has become one of the most popular methods for alkene synthesis. Specifically, the noble metal Pd, Rh, and Ru-based heterogeneous catalysts have been widely studied and utilized in both academia and industry. But the supported noble metal catalysts are generally suffering from leaching or aggregation during harsh reaction conditions, which resulting low catalytic reactivity and stability. Herein, we reported the facile synthesis of nitrogen doped graphene encapsulated Pd catalyst and its application in the chemo-selective semi-hydrogenation of alkynes. The graphene layer served as “bulletproof” over the active Pd Nano metal species, which was confirmed by X-ray and TEM analysis, enhanced the catalytic stability during the reaction conditions. The optimized prepared Pd@N/C catalyst showed excellent efficiency in semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene and other types of alkynes with un-functionalized or functionalized substituents, including the hydrogenation sensitive functional groups (NO2, ester, and halogen).
Nickel(II) Catalyzed Hydroboration: A Route to Selective Reduction of Aldehydes and N-Allylimines

A cationic [(iminophosphine)nickel(allyl)]+ complex was found to be sufficiently electrophilic to activate aldehydes and N-allylimines to undergo hydroboration with pinacolborane (HBpin) under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst displayed excellent selectivity toward aldehydes in the presence of ketones. A wide variety of functional groups were tolerated, including halogens, NO2, CN, OMe, and alkenes for both aldehydes and imines. Electron-rich substrates were found to be significantly more reactive than their electron poor counterparts, a feature that was correlated to their enhanced ability to coordinate to the Lewis acidic nickel center.
