Achiral organoiodine-functionalized helical polyisocyanides for multiple asymmetric dearomative oxidations

Abstract

Immobilizing organocatalysts onto helical polymers can facilitate catalyst recycling and boost enantioselectivity. Here, the authors prepare achiral organoiodine-functionalized single left- and right-handed helical polyisocyanides from the same monomers and demonstrate their use in three asymmetric oxidations.
