Abstract

Abstract A unimolecular micelle was employed both as anchoring sites for palladium nanoparticles and micellar catalyst for Heck reaction in water. In this system, the catalyst and substrates are concentrated in nanosize sites and therefore an efficient catalytic reaction occurs. The hyperbranched aliphatic polyester H40 has been functionalized with poly (caprolactone)(PCL) as hydrophobic core and polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains to obtain ...
