100 Application of immobilized homogeneous catalysts in enantio- and chemoselective hydrogenation reactions

Abstract Preformed homogeneous catalysts are anchored on a heteropoly acid modified support material and the resulting immobilized catalysts can successfully be applied in very specific hydrogenation reactions. These anchored catalysts can be re-used multiple times with constant high activity and show high chemo- and, if chiral catalysts are applied, enantioselectivity.
