Enantioselective hydrogenation of polar substrates in inverted supercritical CO_2/aqueous biphasic media

摘要

An inverted supercritical CO_2/aqueous biphasic catalytic system allows highly enantioselective hydrogenation of polar water-soluble substrates and efficient recycling of the CO_2-philic catalysts.In the field of homogeneous catalysis,new concepts for catalyst recycling and product separation are among the most important targets.
