N-Heterocyclic carbene containing element organic frameworks as heterogeneous organocatalysts

Chem Commun (Camb). 2011 Apr 28;47(16):4814-6. doi: 10.1039/c1cc10268k. Epub 2011 Mar 17.

Abstract

A bifunctional imidazolium linker was used for the production of highly crosslinked element organic frameworks by Suzuki-coupling with tetrafunctional boronic acids. The resulting porous materials are good heterogeneous organocatalysts in the N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed conjugated umpolung of α,β-unsaturated cinnamaldehyde.
