Immobilized Pd on magnetic nanoparticles bearing proline as a highly efficient and retrievable Suzuki–Miyaura catalyst in aqueous media

Abstract

A magnetically retrievable nanocatalyst was evaluated for a microwave assisted Suzuki–Miyaura reaction in aqueous media. Excellent yields and conversions were obtained with low Pd loadings (down to 0.01 mol% Pd). It was stable up to 6 months in water under aerobic conditions and efficiency remained unaltered even after 7 repeated cycles.
