Thieme Chemistry Journal Awardees - Where are They Now? Catalytic Transport with an Amine Carrier in a Fluorous Triphasic Reaction.

Several aromatic aldehydes are transported by a fluorous amine from one organic phase through a fluorous phase to another organic phase. The derived imines react with phenylhydrazine to immobilize the transported product as a hydrazone and release the amine for reuse. In this way, catalytic transport is accomplished for the first time.
