Ag1Pd1-rGO nanocomposite as recyclable catalyst for CDC reactions of 2-arylpyridines with aldehydes

An example of supported bimetallic alloy nanoparticle-catalyzed direct aryl CH activation is described. Ag1Pd1-rGO can be used as a high efficient and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of aromatic ketones via cross dehydrogenative coupling reactions of 2-arylpyridines with aldehydes.138
