Abstract

Abstract In light of the growing interest in the use of rare earth metal triflates as water-tolerant Lewis acid catalysts, we embarked upon the development of a solid-supported gallium triflate (PS-Ga (OTf) 2) derivative as a means of increasing the cleanliness and cost effectiveness of using these increasingly expensive catalytic materials in synthetic processes. Having previously highlighted the advantages associated with coupling solid- ...
