DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0034] The present disclosure is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific examples, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0035] In the following examples, three monomers are as follows: norbornene monomer 1, norbornene monomer 2, and norbornene monomer 3, with structural formulas as follows, respectively:

##STR00003##

EXAMPLE

[0036] In this example, a PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst included two metals, copper and gold, where an active ingredient was copper, gold made the copper dispersed evenly and did not aggregate after the reaction, copper and gold were nanostructured, and a carrier was a polynorbornene/carbon black-cross-linked three-dimensional network. Meanwhile, in the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst, the gold and the active ingredient copper each had a relative content of 0.20-0.25 mmol/g, such as 0.20 mmol/g, 0.21 mmol/g, 0.23 mmol/g, and 0.25 mmol/g mmol/g.

[0037] The polynorbornene/carbon black-cross-linked three-dimensional network carrier was a three-dimensional network formed by conducting copolymerization on three different norbornene monomers to obtain polynorbornene and cross-linking the polynorbornene with carbon black.

[0038] In this example, a preparation method of the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst was provided, including the following steps: [0039] 1) Preparation of polynorbornene: according to a molar ratio of three monomers at 1:1:1, 345.44 mg of a norbornene monomer 1, 311.38 mg of a norbornene monomer 2, 431.53 mg of a norbornene monomer 3, and 20 mg of an initiator Grubbs-I were dissolved in 50 mL of dichloromethane, and stirred at a room temperature for 2 h under an argon atmosphere. A mixture was quenched with 5 ml of ethyl vinyl ether for 10 min, and concentrated by rotary evaporation. The product was slowly poured into diethyl ether to obtain a precipitate, filtered, washed with diethyl ether, and dried to obtain the polynorbornene. [0040] 2) Preparation of a polynorbornene carbon black network-immobilize copper/gold nanocatalyst: 500 mg of the polynorbornene obtained in step 1) and 500 mg of an activated carbon powder were added to 50 mL of a dichloromethane solvent, mixed by stirring, washed several times, and filtered; the residual solvent was removed under vacuum to obtain a desired polynorbornene carbon black network (PNBICB). 1 g of the PNBICB was dispersed uniformly in 50 ml of an anhydrous diethylene glycol dimethyl ether/dichloromethane mixed solvent, and 53 mg of sodium borohydride was added and dissolved to obtain a mixed system; 51.0 mg of an anhydrous diethylene glycol dimethyl ether solution containing copper acetate and chloroauric acid (the copper acetate and the chloroauric acid had a molar ratio of 1:1) was added dropwise to the mixed system, and stirred at a room temperature for 2 h. Excess diethyl ether was added dropwise to the system, followed by filtration, repeated diethyl ether washing, and removal of residual solvent to obtain a black solid. [0041] 3) Preparation of a PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst: the black solid in step 2) was heated at 170? C. for 5 h under an argon atmosphere to obtain the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst.

[0042] During the preparation of the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst, copper ions were reduced to zero-valent copper by the sodium borohydride. Through TEM (FIG. 2) observation and analysis, it was found that copper and gold nanoparticles each were highly uniformly-dispersed in the polymer, with an average particle size of 5 nm?3 nm and uniform distribution in the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst. It was seen that in the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst, copper had a smaller average particle size, such that copper had a larger surface area in contact with the reactants, thereby enhancing a catalytic activity of the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst to improve a product yield and accelerate the reaction.

[0043] FIG. 3 showed a gel permeation chromatography flow curve of the polynorbornene sample prepared in step 1). The polynorbornene had a desirable spectrum. According to an average molecular weight table of the polynorbornene in the figure, it was known that the polynorbornene had a number average molecular weight Mp of 12,440.

[0044] By changing an amount of the Grubbs-I, a degree of polymerization and a molecular weight of the polymer were adjusted; a relative content of copper and gold in the PNBICB-immobilize copper/gold nanocatalyst was adjusted by changing a volume or concentration of the copper acetate/chloroauric acid solution; a size of copper nanoparticles in the PNBICB-immobilize copper/gold nanocatalyst was adjusted by changing an amount of the sodium borohydride.

[0045] In addition, in the example, use of the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst was provided in asymmetric boron addition between ?,?-unsaturated ketone and bis(pinacolato)diboron; FIG. 1 showed a schematic flow diagram of the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst provided by the present disclosure in the asymmetric boron addition between the ?,?-unsaturated ketone and bis(pinacolato)diboron; as shown in FIG. 1, the use included:

[0046] the ?,?-unsaturated ketone, the bis(pinacolato)diboron, a ligand, and the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst prepared in Example 1 were added to a mixed solvent of 8 ?l of methanol and 2 ml of toluene at a molar ratio of 1:1.2:0.003:0.0025, and stirred at a room temperature for 12 h; the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst was filtered, spin-dried to remove solvents, and separated by column chromatography to obtain the product of asymmetric boron addition between the ?,?-unsaturated ketone and the bis(pinacolato)diboron. Meanwhile, the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst was used for the first time in the asymmetric boron addition between the ?,?-unsaturated ketone and the bis(pinacolato)diboron, with a product yield of 90%-97%. The asymmetric boron addition was as follows:

The ee represented that a percentage of a target product (the asymmetric boron addition product) decreased by a percentage of a by-product (another isomer), which was used to reflect the enantioselectivity.

Before complete deactivation, the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst is more cost-effective for the asymmetric boron addition of chalcone and bis(pinacolato)diboron, which is more suitable for industrial uses.

[0080] Therefore, the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst has a higher catalytic activity, greater product yield, and desirable enantioselectivity in catalyzing the asymmetric boron addition of ?,?-unsaturated ketones. Meanwhile, the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst can be recycled many times, and has an extremely low dosage in the asymmetric boron addition of chalcone and bis(pinacolato)diboron (0.25 mol %). In addition, copper and gold both exist in a form of nanoparticles in the PNBI/CB-Cu/Au nanocatalyst with uniform dispersion, enhancing a catalytic performance and preventing copper from aggregation after the reaction.
