Abstract
The present invention relates to novel singlet oxygen catalysts useful for the production of specialty chemicals. The catalysts include a core material selected from amine coated polymeric beads, amine coated glass beads and multi-generational dendrimers to which condensed carbon molecules are bonded. These catalysts may in turn give rise to other solid phase heterogeneous catalysts useful for stereoselective or regioselective reactions, by way of non-limiting example.
Claims27
A catalytic product for forming singlet oxygen comprising:
- a core material including amine groups having condensed carbon molecules selected from the group consisting of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes bonded directly to said amine groups.
A stereoselective or regioselective catalytic product comprising:
- a) a core material including amine groups having condensed carbon molecules selected from the group consisting of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes bonded directly to said amine groups and
- b) an outer portion bonded to said condensed carbon molecules including chiral pockets.
