Copper-containing DNA-Silica Mineral Complexes for the Asymmetric Diels-Alder Reaction
In this study, we have generated DNA-silica minerals containing a Cu(ligand) complex and evaluated their utility in asymmetric synthesis. Cu(dmbpy)/DNA-silica mineral could be applied successfully to the Diels-Alder reaction and reused readily for 10 cycles without loss of enantioselectivity.
