Abstract

Abstract A very efficient and reusable catalyst has been developed for the on-water nucleophilic substitution of alkyl halides and tosylates with azide or thiocyanate in excellent to quantitative yields. The reaction proceeds smoothly and cleanly without any organic cosolvent or other adductive, and the brush can be reused at least 10 times without noticeable loss of the catalytic activity. The high efficiency, simplicity of product and ...
