Pd nanoparticle-silica nanotubes (Pd@SNTs) as an efficient catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling and sp2 C–H arylation in water†
Abstract
Silica nanotubes (SNTs) functionalized with Pd-NPs on the inner surface performed as efficient nano-reactors for C–C coupling in water; the nano-confinement offers minimized leaching of Pd and yet efficient mass transfer for Suzuki–Miyaura coupling and C–H arylation of thiazoles in water with very high TON.
