[reaction: see text] Fluoroacrylate polymer-bound hydrogenation catalysts are described. N-Acryloxysuccinimide-containing fluoroacrylate polymers were converted into phosphine ligands and subsequently into analogues of Wilkinson's catalyst by amidation of N-acryloxysuccinimide active ester residues and Rh exchange. The resulting catalysts have excellent activity and can be reused following fluorous biphasic liquid/liquid separation and extraction.
