A well-dispersed metallic palladium catalyst modified by polymer-anchored thioether ligands was used for the hydrogenation of cyclopentadiene to cyclopentene wi
Cyclic acrylates, 2,2- dimethyl-5-methylene-1 , 3-dioxolan-4 -one and 2- phenyl-5-methylene-1,3-dioxolan-4-one, were synthesized successfully. The monomers were
