C(sp2)–C(sp2) cross coupling reaction catalyzed by a water-stable palladium complex supported onto nanomagnetite particles

Abstract

A water-stable palladium complex supported onto nanomagnetite particles was prepared and characterized. The nanocatalyst showed excellent reusability and activity in aqueous phase processes including the C(sp²)–C(sp²) cross coupling reactions. The advantages of the protocol are its generality, high yields, short reaction time, a cleaner reaction profile, and simplicity.
