PH-Controlled Nanoparticle Catalysts for Highly Selective Tandem Henry Reaction from Mixtures.


ABSTRACT: Nature has a remarkable ability to perform selective transformation of complex biological mixtures into desired products using enzymatic catalysts. We report the preparation of nanoparticle catalysts through molecular imprinting within cross-linked micelles. These catalysts were highly selective for their targeted substrates and could selectively hydrolyze less reactive acetals over more reactive ones even under basic conditions. Their catalytic activity and selectivity were tunable through rational postmodification of the active site. These properties enabled the nanoparticle catalysts to produce the desired β-nitro alcohol from a four-component acetal mixture in a tandem deprotection/Henry reaction that required incompatible acidic and basic catalysts in the two steps.
