F. Benvenuti et al., Hydrogenation of organic substrates by an heterogenized catalyst based on a bis(diphenylphosphino)methane polymer-bound palladium(II) complex, J MOL CAT A, 145(1-2), 1999, pp. 221-228
Pd(OAc)(2) undergoes easy and quantitative coordination to a cross-linked s
tyrene/divinylbenzene resin functionalized with bis(diphenylphosphino)metha
ne ligands to yield a supported palladium complex which behaves as a versat
ile and recyclable heterogenized catalyst for the hydrogenation of nitrocom
pounds and alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes under mild conditions. Whereas
nitrobenzene is converted only into aniline, cinnamaldehyde is selectively
converted into hydrocin-namaldehyde. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rig
