Electrochemical studies of irreversibly adsorbed ethyl pyruvate on Pt{hkl} and epitaxial Pd/Pt{hkl} adlayers

“…Although several models have been proposed to explain the mechanism of enantioselection under reaction conditions [9,22,[27][28][29][30][31] no one theory appears to account satisfactorily for all of the unusual experimental features of this complex surface reaction, for example; the rate acceleration associated with the modified hydrogenation reaction [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], its solvent dependency [40][41][42][43][44], the effect of modifier [31,41,[45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64] and substrate [52,[64][65][66] structure and concentration [37,39] together with catalyst pr...…”

Shaping the selectivity in heterogeneous hydrogenation by using molecular modification strategies: Experiment and theory

“…Enantioselective heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation over the chiral molecule modified metal catalysts has long been regarded as an efficient strategy to prepare the enantiopure compounds [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. In most cases, the enantioselectivity might come from the differentiation of the interaction of enantiomers with the chiral modifiers.…”

“…substrate selectivity. In addition, enantioselective hydrogenation on chirally modified noble metals has shown a great promise in the synthesis of enantiopure compounds [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Chiral modifiers were proposed to play an essential role in surfacemediated processes that leads to enantioselectivity.…”

Superior Performance of a Nanostructured Platinum Catalyst in Water: Hydrogenations of Alkenes, Aldehydes and Nitroaromatics

“…Enantioselective hydrogenation of methyl pyruvate using heterogeneous platinum catalysts and Cinchona alkaloids as chiral modifiers is a much studied reaction. [18][19][20] Enantioselective hydrogenations of pyruvate esters have also been reported for colloidal platinumbased, Cinchona alkaloid-modified catalytic systems. [21,22] Surprisingly, either in water or in methanol, using 1 as the catalyst and Cinchona alkaloids as chiral modifiers, no enantioselectivity could be obtained in the hydrogenation of methyl pyruvate.…”
