A simple and sustainable strategy is proposed to construct a nanoreactor by connecting micelles with in-situ prepared ultrasmall Pd NPs to efficiently catalyze the Mizoroki-Heck reaction.
Cyrene is employed as the reaction medium in the Mizoroki–Heck cross-coupling between aryl iodides with acrylates, acrylamides or styrene. Its application in the synthesis of piperlotine A is demonstrated.
This work presents a nanomagnetic palladium complex as a sustainable catalyst for the green synthesis of butyl cinnamates via the Mizoroki–Heck reaction, demonstrating excellent catalytic performance, stability, and minimal environmental impact.
Adapting biological systems for nanoparticle synthesis opens an orthogonal Green direction in nanoscience by reducing the reliance on harsh chemicals and energy-intensive procedures.
This review summarizes the transition metal-catalyzed reactivity of carbenes with different boronic acids and esters to form carbon–carbon bonds, carbon–boron bonds, and beyond.
