Ligand-free and heterogeneous palladium on carbon-catalyzed hetero-suzuki-miyaura cross-coupling

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/adsc.200900638

A ligand-free and heterogeneous palladium on carbon (Pd/C)-catalyzed hetero-SuzukiMiyaura coupling reaction has been developed. The protocol enables the construction of both heterocyclic-alicyclic and heterocyclic-heterocyclic biaryl derivatives in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, Pd/C could be reused. The time-course study clarified that palladium was leached into the reaction media as the reaction proceeded and then completely deposited on the carbon support.
