Polymeric tertiaryphosphine as a green and recyclable organocatalyst for stereoselective isomerization reaction

A green, simple and effective polymeric organocatalytic system, polymer-supported triphenylphosphine (PS-TPP), for the stereoselective isomerization of α,β-ynones to (E,E)-α,β-γ,δ-dienones is reported here. The catalyst, PS-TPP could be recovered by simple filtration and reused several times with high activity.
