TL;DR: In this paper, a homogeneous palladium catalyst system was developed for the production of perfectly alternating copolymers of carbon monoxide with ethylene, where C 3 units randomly replace ethylene units along the chain.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, copolymerisation of ethene and alkylacrylates is catalysed by palladium modified with di(2-methoxyphenyl)phosphinobenzene-2-sulfonic acid (DOPPBS); a linear polymer is produced in which acrylate units are incorporated into the polyethylene backbone.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the mechanisms proposed for the isomerisation of allylic alcohols is given while some catalyst systems are singled out to discuss mechanistic research, such as the synthesis of enols and enolates, chiral carbonyl compounds and silyl substituted ketones.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a homogeneous palladium catalysts for the selective production of methyl methacrylate by methoxycarbonylation of propyne was developed. But the performance of these catalysts was limited by the fact that the 2-pyridylphosphine ligand plays an essential role both as a chelating PN ligand and as a monocoordinated ligand in the rate-determining step.

TL;DR: The functionalized magnetically retrievable catalysts or nanocatalysts that are increasingly being used in catalysis, green chemistry and pharmaceutically significant reactions are summarized in this review.
Abstract: Surface functionalization of nano-magnetic nanoparticles is a well-designed way to bridge the gap between heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis. The introduction of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in a variety of solid matrices allows the combination of well-known procedures for catalyst heterogenization with techniques for magnetic separation. Magnetite is a well-known material, also known as ferrite (Fe3O4), and can be used as a versatile support for functionalization of metals, organocatalysts, N-heterocyclic carbenes, and chiral catalysts. It is used as a support for important homogeneous catalytically active metals such as Pd, Pt, Cu, Ni, Co, Ir, etc. to obtain stable and magnetically recyclable heterogeneous catalysts. Homogeneous organocatalysts can be successfully decorated with linkers/ligands on the surface of magnetite or alternatively the organocatalysts can be directly immobilized on the surface of magnetite. The functionalized magnetically retrievable catalysts or nanocatalysts that are increasingly being used in catalysis, green chemistry and pharmaceutically significant reactions are summarized in this review.
