Abstract

In the preparation of chiral-supported catalysts, the immobilization process can produce changes in the behavior of theresulting resin-supported species. The polymeric matrix plays important roles that affect the activity, selectivity and stabilityof the final catalysts. Pseudodilution effects very often favor the activity of the supported species, and the presence of thehydrophobic matrix increases the stability of the water-sensitive active sites. The steric interaction between the polymericbackbone and the groups in the chiral auxiliary can modify, even dramatically, the stereochemical outcome of the reaction. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
