Ion-Exchange Resins as Polymer-Support in Organic Transformations

This book describes an efficient technique for the immobilization of reagents and palladium catalyst on a solid polymeric framework and employing them in various C-C coupling reactions (e.g. Heck Suzuki and Sonogashira coupling). The technique has also been applied in the Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) of aldehydes and 12-dicarbonyl compounds using ruthenium as catalyst. Besides routine spectroscopic investigations (IR UV-VIS NMR and Mass spectroscopy) Magic Angle Spinning-NMR Scanning Electron Microgram and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopic investigations which have been used for the studies are also illustrated in this book.
