Dendrimers as Platforms for Stereoselective Catalysis

Fixation of Chiral Catalysts on Dendrimers and Hyperbranched Polymers 

Chiral dendrimer catalysts have been generated either by attachment of achiral complexes to chiral dendrimer structures or by immobilization of chiral catalysts 

Catalyst recycling has been achieved using membrane reactors, biphasic solvent systems, as well as catalyst precipitation and subsequent filtration, although frequently with deteriorating catalyst performance over time. This utilitarian aspect of dendrimer catalysis has provided the motivation for much of the work on chiral dendrimer catalysts.
