Abstract

Metal nanoparticles are attracting much attention in organic synthesis due to their distinct catalytic activities for various transformations. 1,2 Arene hydrogenation, which is an important transformation for small scale synthesis as well as for industrial process, is a typical example in that metal nanoparticles catalyze the reaction under mild conditions. 3–7 Bare metal nanoparticles are kinetically unstable with respect to agglomeration; a wide variety of methods to stabilize metal nanoparticles ...
