| Ya-Chen - My name is Jane. I came from Taiwan. I am 18 years old. I love to see movies and collect movie tickets. On the other hand, Our research is about organic chemistry. | | Shanice - I'm Shanice. I’m a Gr.12 student living in Taiwan. My high school life consists of three major things: reading, Irish dance, and science. The reading part is the way to kill time, and Irish dance is my favorite activity. About the science part, actually, I hated chemistry before! There were too many recitals and caculations. I did this research just because I was assigned to. However, in the process of the experiment, I found that I was involutarily in love with organic chemistry, especially the experiments. That’s why I’m here and asking you to allow us to introduce our project! |

Synthesis, Reactivity and Recycling of the Organic-inorganic catalyst
| Division: | International / None | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Taiwan, R.O.C. | | City: | Taipei, | | School: | | | Abstract: | A solid supported chiral organocatalyst was readily prepared by co-condensation of surfactant and trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline derivative under basic conditions. The mesoporous material anchored chiral organocatalyst was used catalytically to catalyze asymmetric aldol reaction. High enantiomeric excess was obtained when 4-nitrobenzaldehyde was reacted with cyclohexanone catalyzed by this chiral catalyst. This catalystst can be used for up to three times under the same reaction conditions. |
