An immobilised nitrogen-containing ligand is described comprising the reaction product of a compound of formula (I) wherein R5, R6, R7 and R8 are independently hydrogen, a saturated or unsaturated C1-C10 alkyl group, an aryl group, a urethane group, a sulphonyl group or form an imine group, R1, R2, R3 , and R4 are independently hydrogen, a saturated or unsaturated C1-C10 alkyl group or an aryl group and at least one of R1, R2, R3 and R4 is functionalised with a functional group, and a solid support having a site capable of reacting with said functional group. The nitrogen-containing ligand is useful for preparing immobilised catalysts for performing e.g. asymmetric catalysis. |
