Ordered Mesoporous Carbons with Ia3d Symmetry Supported Pt Catalyst for Efficient Asymmetric Hydrogenation
Pt nanoparticles supported on CMK-8 ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) with Ia3d symmetry after chirally modified with cinchonidine (CD) proved to be highly efficient for asymmetric hydrogenation of alpha-ketoesters. Up to 34,819 h(-1) TOF with 75 % ee was furnished for the enantioselective hydrogenation of ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate with CD-modified Pt/CMK-8 catalyst. To the best of our knowledge, these results obtained with chirally modified Pt/CMK-8 catalyst are the best ones among those with Pt catalysts supported on carbon materials. It is suggested that both the physical structure features of CMK-8 OMCs and the chemical nature of Pt catalyst are beneficial for the asymmetric hydrogenation.
