A supramolecular hydrogel as a reusable heterogeneous catalyst for the direct aldol reaction
Francisco Rodríguez-Llansola, Juan F. Miravet and Beatriu Escuder
An L-proline based supramolecular hydrogel is used as an efficient heterogeneous organocatalyst for the direct aldol reaction with high stereoselectivity (up to 90% ee) and recyclability (up to 3 runs). The reversible nature of this self-assembled supramolecular system allows for easy recovery and regeneration of the catalyst.
