Silica supported palladium-phosphine complex: recyclable catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions at ambient temperature

A new silica immobilized palladium-phosphine complex has been developed. It was found to be an efficient catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions under mild conditions. It is important to note that the supported catalyst could be reused at least 10 times without a significant loss of catalytic activity.
