analyses were performed in a Perkin–Elmer Optima 4300 spec-
trometer. The reaction was filtered off and the solution was con-
centrated and treated with 65% aqueous HNO3 (1 mL) overnight.
The sample was diluted with water until 50 mL total volume and
filtered through a HPLC filter. TEM analyses were performed in a
JEOL JEM-2010 coupled to a micro analyzer system Oxford INCA
Energy TEM100.
Kaiser resin is commercially available and can be prepared from
polystyrene cross-linked with 1% divinylbenzene [24]. Palladacy-
cles 2 [8b] and 3 [11b] were prepared as previously described.

4.2. Typical procedure for the cross-coupling reactions in water
A 2 M solution of K2CO3 (10 mL) was added to a suspension of
aryl halide (10 mmol), boroxine (5 mmol) or boronic acid
(15 mmol), TBAB (see tables), palladacycle 3 (see tables), in water
(20 mL). The mixture was stirred under reflux and the reaction
was monitored by GC until completion. Then the reaction was
cooled down to room temperature and diluted with EtOAc
(40 mL), filtered off (G3) and the polymer was washed with EtOAc
(3 ꢁ 10 mL), EtOAc–MeOH (1:1) (3 ꢁ 10 mL) and MeOH
(3 ꢁ 10 mL), dried under vacuum and reused in a new experiment.
The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum and a small sample
was analyzed by ICP–OES. The rest of the crude product was
poured into EtOAc (20 mL) and washed with water (3 ꢁ 10 mL).
The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and the solvent removed
under vacuum. The crude product was purified by flash chroma-
tography or by recrystallization.

A 1 M solution of KOH (2 mL) was added to a solution of cin-
namyl or benzyl chloride (1 mmol), TBAB (see Tables), boroxine
(0.5 mmol) or boronic acid (1.5 mmol) and the polymer 3 (see ta-
bles) in acetone (3 mL) and the reaction mixture was heated at
50 °C. The reaction was monitored by GC until completion and
worked-up as above.
