(57) [Summary]nThe present invention relates to a supported catalyst containing at least one water-soluble transition metal complex, wherein the supported catalyst is characterized by using polymer particles having a hydrophobic core and hydrophilic side chains as a support. . In the examples, tentagel, polymer particles consisting of cross-linked polystyrene nuclei and grafted polyethylene glycol side chains are used as carriers. The transition metal is selected from metals of group VIIB, VII, IB or IIB of the periodic table and mixtures thereof. |
