PQS: A New Platform for Micellar Catalysis. RCM Reactions in Water, with Catalyst Recycling Bruce H.

This species dissolves freely in water, forming nanomicelles in which ring-closing metathesis reactions on water-insoluble dienic substrates can occur in pure water at room temperature. It can also be recycled continuously without reaction workup. 2009-02-05 00:00:00 surfactant metathesi New Platform species room temperature designer ruthenium catalyst reaction workup Micellar Catalysis RCM Reactions substrate Catalyst Recycling dienic PQS nanomicelle covalently
