Firming COFs up takes Michael reaction catalysis forward

By making formerly fragile covalent organic frameworks (COFs) resistant to harsh conditions, researchers in Japan have created what they think could be a powerful new catalyst concept. Donglin Jiang’s team at the National Institutes of Natural Sciences in Okazaki have already used their chiral COFs to enable selective and high-yielding Michael reactions with low-reactivity ketones. They believe theirs is the first example of a heterogeneous catalyst based on a crystalline porous material used in this reaction.
