A biphosphine copolymer encapsulated single-site Rh catalyst for heterogeneous regioselective hydroaminomethylation of alkenes.

A novel porous organic polymer catalyst with in situ encapsulated single-site Rh (Rh@CPOL-DPMphos& p -3vPPh 3 ) was developed and employed in heterogeneous hydroaminomethylation of alkenes, affording the corresponding amines in good to excellent regioselectivity and catalytic activity by a one-pot method. The combined actions of hierarchical pore confinement and the biphosphine ligand derived from the POP catalyst contributed to the improved regioselectivity.
