Enhanced heterogeneously catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction over SiliaCat Pd(0)

The SiliaCat Pd(0) solid catalyst can be efficiently employed in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of an ample variety of haloarenes, including economically viable chloroarenes. The catalyst can be extensively recycled without loss of activity and with low leaching of valued palladium, opening the route to widespread utilization of the method to afford high yields of biaryls devoid of contaminating by-products.
