A novel polystyrene-supported palladium(II) dithizone complex is found to be a highly active catalyst for the Suzuki, Heck, and Sonogashira reactions of aryl halides in water. By this protocol, aryl halides, coupled with phenyl boronic acid (Suzuki reaction), alkenes (Heck reaction) or terminal alkyne (Sonogashira reaction), smoothly affords the corresponding cross-coupling products in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the catalyst shows good thermal stability and recyclability. The catalyst was recycled for the Suzuki, Heck, and Sonogashira reactions for five runs without appreciable loss of its catalytic activity and negligible metal leaching.
