Catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation in micellar media with amphiphilic and non-amphiphilic ligands
The transfer of a homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation catalyst into an aqueous micellar system was investigated. Tn case of the asymmetric hydrogenation activity and enantioselectivity were enhanced in water due to the addition of surfactants. A variation of the microheterogenization in water was realized with new amphiphilic ligands derived from Brij (polyoxyethylene ethers) and PPM (4-diphenylphosphino-2-diphenylphosphinomethyl-pyrrolidine). The substrate could be solubilized in the micellar assemblies. Best results were observed in mixed micelles : the enantioselectivity achieved 96% ee. New practical aspects are given by use of polymerized surfactants which we prepared by polymerization of assemblies.
