Sodium alginate-modified copper catalytic membrane for carbene N-H insertion

Key Points

• The aim is to develop an efficient copper-based catalytic membrane for N-H insertion reactions using carbenes.
• Fabricated copper-based membrane via surface cross-linking with sodium alginate.
• Utilized carbenes generated from diazo compounds for catalytic reactions.
• Included characterization of the membrane's catalytic activity.
• The Cu@SA-CM membrane efficiently catalyzes the N-H insertion reaction.
• Shows high activity and stability under experimental conditions.
