Abstract

Abstract Syntheses of Rh (II) carboxylate salts of terminally funcfionalized polyethylene carboxylic acids arc described. These polymer-bound transition metals are homogeneous catalysts for cyclopropanation of alkenes at 100 C and have activities and selectivities like transition metal acetates but are quantitatively recoverable at 25 C.
