Recycling asymmetric hydrogenation catalysts by their immobilization onto ion-exchange resins.
Ion-exchange resins can be used as supports for the preparation of single-site, heterogenised asymmetric hydrogenation catalysts. The immobilised catalysts obtained can be efficiently and conveniently recovered and recycled. This article reviews the significant contributions in the field including the main concepts behind the design and the applications of this type of catalyst.
