New supported transition metal complex useful as catalyst in the transition metal catalyzed reaction, and in olefin metathesis reaction

Supported transition metal complex (T) based on a polystyrene matrix or silica gel matrix comprising a phenyl compound (I) or a phenyl-ketone compound (II), respectively, is new. Supported transition metal complex (T) based on a polystyrene matrix or silica gel matrix comprising a phenyl compound of formula (I) or a phenyl-ketone compound of formula (II), respectively, is new. X : a direct bond, O, S, -N(R 1>)-, -C(=O)O-, -O(O=)C-, -N(R 1>)(O=)C-, -C(=O)N(R 1>)-, -O-CHR 1>-O-, -OC(=O)N(R 1>)-, -N(R 1>)C(=O)O-, =C(=O) or =C(=S); R 1>, R 3>H or 1-4C alkyl; K 1>a transition metal complex; Z : a bond or a spacer; m, n, x, y : 1-5000; q : 2-5; and z : 3-20. An independent claim is included for a procedure for the transition metal catalyzed conversion of a reactant to a product in the presence of a supercritical carbon dioxide comprising using (T), as the catalyst.
