Efficient transesterification by polymer-supported zinc complexes: Clean and recyclable catalysts

Polymer-supported Zn catalysts for the transesterification were successfully prepared by deliberately choosing the polymer surface anchored AMP (2-aminomethylpyridine) as a ligand and they showed a heterogeneous catalytic activity with an easy recyclability on the transesterification reaction of various substrates by methanol at room temperature under the mild and neutral conditions.
