[reaction: see text] A high-loading ROMPgel-supported thiazolium iodide was prepared via ROMPolymerization of the corresponding norbornene-derived monomer. The resulting ionic ROMPgel proved to be an efficient organic catalyst for Stetter reactions. The 1,4-dicarbonyl products, important intermediates in the synthesis of cyclopentenones and heterocycles, were obtained in high yields and excellent purities after minimal purification. The ROMPgel could be reused in up to four consecutive reaction cycles without significant loss of catalytic activity.
ROMPgel-supported ethyl 1-diazo-2-oxopropylphosphonate has been prepared, and the supported reagent has been effectively employed in the conversion of a variety of aldehydes into terminal alkynes under mild reaction conditions. The influence of cross-link structure, comonomers, and polymer structure on reaction efficiency has been examined. [structure: see text]
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
