Cellulose-Supported Metal Catalysts : Recent Developments in the Molecular Design and Applications in Organic Transformations
Most of the polymer-supported metal catalysts have obvious advantages such as high catalytic activity
easy separation and purification of product after reaction and easy recovery and reuse several times without any remarkable loss in catalytic activity. Cellulose is one of the most abundant natural polymer on earth. It is stable in most organic solvents
has high surface area and hydroxyl functional groups that are capable of chelating to metal ions and particles thereby providing required stability. In addition
it is biodegradable
non-toxic and available at low price. In this paper
synthesis of cellulose- based metal catalysts and their applications in organic transformation were summarized.
