Aminated Polystyrene-Bound Rhodium Carbonyl Clusters as a Catalyst for Deoxygenation of Various N-O Bonds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1988.1759

Aminated polystyrene-bound rhodium carbonyl cluster complexes are prepared by treatment of Rh6(CO)16 with various aminated polystyrenes.The polymeric rhodium complexes show a catalytic activity for deoxygenation of nitro compounds, oximes, hydroxylamines, and N-oxides under the conditions using CO and H2O.The recovered rhodium complexes maintain the deoxygenation ability with a small loss of the selectivity.
