Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) micro-spheres, a kind of commercially available polymeric material was treated with PdCl2 and formaldehyde giving a reagent with a palladium loading of 0.79 (wt.%). The Pd-PMMA catalyzed the highly efficient Heck and Suzuki reactions. The reactions can be performed under ligand-free conditions in an air atmosphere. The palladium catalyst is easily separated and can be reusable with negligible leaching of palladium.
Graphical abstractCommercially available polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) micro-spheres supported palladium catalyses the highly efficient Heck and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions. The reactions can be performed under ligand-free conditions in an air atmosphere. The palladium catalyst is easily separated and can be reusable with negligible leaching of palladium.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
