Platinum nanoparticles stabilized by glycerodendrimers: Synthesis and application to the hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones under mild conditions
Résumé
Air-stable platinum nanoparticles stabilized by glycerodendrimers were prepared in water and analyzed by TEM. These platinum nanoparticles showed good catalytic activity for the reduction of α,β-unsaturated ketones to saturated ketones at room temperature in water or in water/THF (1:1) under H2 (101.3 kPa). The catalytic species was recovered and recycled several times.
