1R, 2S)-())-2-amino-1, 2-diphenylethanol and (1S, 2R)-(+)-2-amino-1, 2-diphenylethanol had been immobilized on the layered titanium phosphonates 4a-d and hybrid titanium phosphonates 5a-c in spheroid form with interlayer space 20.845-19.407 Å which can be used as heterogeneous catalysts in the enantioseletive addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde to obtain optically active (R)-or (S)-1-phenylpropan-1-ol for the first time. It was shown that the titanium phosphonate 4a led to active heterogeneous catalysis for asymmetric additions of diethylzinc to benzaldehydes in 88.5% yield and ee value of up to 40.8% which decreased at 16% ee lower than corresponding chiral ligand in homogeneous asymmetric catalysis. AFM showed that the distribution of 1,2-dipenyl-2-aminoethanol organic moieties on the surface of titanium phosphonates irregularly lined like flow mark.
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.
