Abstract

Abstract Hydrophilic polymers having pendant groups of carboxylates or sulfonates have been used as a polymer support for chiral 1, 2-diamine monosulfonamides. The polymeric chiral complex prepared from the polymer-supported chiral ligand with ruthenium dichloride⋅ p-cymene was used in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of prochiral ketones in water. The balance between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the polymer ...
