ROMP in the Synthesis of Well-Defined Catalytic Supports

Abstract

Recent developments in the synthesis of ring opening metathesis polymn.- (ROMP-) based heterogeneous catalytic supports are reported. In combination with grafting and pptn. polymn. techniques, ROMP has been applied to the synthesis of surface-functionalized inorg. and org. supports. Selected applications of these well-defined heterogeneous catalytic supports in C-C coupling reactions (Heck couplings), C-N coupling reactions (aminations) as well as in atom-transfer radical polymn. are reported.
