Preparation and Reaction of Titania Particles Encapsulated in Hollow Silica Shells as an Efficient Photocatalyst for Stereoselective Synthesis of Pipecolinic Acid
Hollow core shell particles of titania core and silica shell were synthesized by multistep process, and the core shell particles showed improved stereoselectivity in the photocatalytic redox-combined synthesis of L-pipecolinic acid from L-lysine in an aqueous suspension without reducing the original activity of the bare titania core.
