A Heterogeneous Silica‐Supported Scandium/Ionic Liquid Catalyst System for Organic Reactions in Water

Abstract

Several carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions are catalyzed by a silica-supported scandium triflate catalyst combined with an ionic liquid. The combination of these two components creates a hydrophobic reaction environment in water (see scheme; blue: water, yellow: substrate, orange: ionic liquid).
