Palladium salt and functional reduced graphene oxide complex: in situ preparation of a generally applicable catalyst for C–C coupling reactions†
Abstract
A novel Pd catalyst was designed by affording Pd2+ salt on the surface of functional reduced graphene oxide (FRGO), providing a new cheap and stable in situ prepared palladium catalyst for C–C coupling reactions, including the Heck reaction, Suzuki reaction, C–H bond functionalization reactions of thiophenes, and terminal alkyne C–H activation and homocoupling.
