Three cinchona alkaloid copolymers (PMMA-BQTP, PMA-BQTP, PAN-BQTP) have been synthesized by copolymerization. Their structure was characterized by FTIR, GPC, and element analysis. The catalytic activity of these copolymers in asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) of olefins by OsO 4 was studied. The products enantiomeric excesses (ee) and the conversion of the substrate in the dihydroxylation reactions were determined using HPLC. The effect of time, temperature, and recycle times on the reaction was also discussed. The results showed that the copolymers catalyzed the dihydroxylation of the olefins to get diols in high optical yield. However, their catalytic efficiency was largely depended on the nature of olefins. The polymeric cinchona alkaloid can be simply recovered at the end of the reaction by centrifugation and then reused without radical change of activity or enantioselectivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
