Novel Catalysis of Dendrimer: Efficient Nanocavity of Polyamine Dendrimer for Intramolecular Michael Reaction

Maeno Z., Mitsudome T., Mizugaki T., Jitsukawa K., Kaneda K., Osaka University, JP

The intramolecular Michael reaction of (E)-9-nitro-3-nonen-2-one was investigated using poly(propylene imine) dendrimers with alkyl chain on the periphery (Gx-C16, x = 3-5, x denotes the number of the generation). Gx-C16 showed higher catalytic activity than [...]

Controlled Synthesis of Subnano Pd Cluster Catalysts by Fine Tuning of Dendrimers

Mizugaki T., Kibata T., Maeno Z., Mitsudome T., Jitsukawa K., Kaneda K., Osaka University, JP

We recently succeeded in the fine control of the Pd cluster sizes in wide range using the fifth generation poly(propylene imine) (PPI) dendrimers. Preorganization of Pd ions within the PPI dendrimer with butanediamine core(G5-C4) and [...]
