Recyclable polyurea-microencapsulated Pd(0) nanoparticles: an efficient catalyst for hydrogenolysis of epoxides.
[reaction: see text] Pd nanoparticles (approximately 2 nm in size) microencapsulated in polyurea is an efficient and recyclable catalyst for reductive ring-opening hydrogenolysis of epoxides, using either HCOOH/Et(3)N or H(2) as a hydrogen donor.
