Bifunctional iridium-(2-aminoterephthalate)-Zr-MOF chemoselective catalyst for the synthesis of secondary amines by one-pot three-step cascade reaction

摘要

A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of N-alkyl amines via a cascade reaction (hydrogenation + reductive amination) using a new recyclable hybrid catalyst that combines the catalytic power of transition metal complexes with the architecture of metal organic frameworks (MOFs). © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
