• -coupling reactions. Catalytic activity was compared to the activity of the freshly prepared free catalyst, and the palladium entrapment did not affect either the conversion or the yields of the reaction [28]. The catalyst immobilization also allowed facile Pd removal from the final product and catalyst

• immobilization of Cinchona organocatalysts using thiol–ene chemistry, in which catalyst immobilization and bead polymerization is combined in a single step. A solution of azo initiator, polyfunctional thiol, polyfunctional alkene and an unmodified Cinchona-derived organocatalyst in a solvent is suspended in

• , we have been engaged in the development of scalable and expedient syntheses of polymer-supported organocatalysts for some time now [6][7]. In our bottom-up approach for the preparation of polymer-supported organocatalysts, the catalyst immobilization and the preparation of the polymer scaffold are

• occurred. Conclusion We have developed an unusually concise immobilization of Cinchona organocatalysts by thiol–ene suspension copolymerization of polyfunctional thiols and alkenes together with unmodified Cinchona organocatalyst precursors. As such, bead polymerization and catalyst immobilization is

• : alkene metathesis; catalyst immobilization; hybrid catalysts; mesoporous molecular sieves; Ru–alkylidene complexes; Introduction Ru–alkylidene complexes (Grubbs and Hoveyda–Grubbs catalysts, 1 and 2, respectively, Figure 1) belong to the most active and frequently used metathesis catalysts. These
