Low melting mixtures based on β-cyclodextrin derivatives and N,N′-dimethylurea as solvents for sustainable catalytic processes

Abstract

β-Cyclodextrin series and N,N′-dimethylurea formed low melting mixtures able to immobilize organometallic species based on sulfonated phosphanes. Hydroformylation and Tsuji–Trost reactions were efficiently performed in these new solvents which led to new recyclable catalytic systems.
