was then added and stirred for 15 h under refluxing. After
cooling, the precipitate was filtered off and the solvent was
removed under a vacuum. Allylated compound was
obtained as a white solid (9.3 g). Allylated compound
(1.96 g) and H PtCl Á6H O (1.7 mg) were dissolved in

THF (20 mL) and stirred at room temperature. Then, tri-
ethoxysilane (0.67 g) was added dropwise and the solution
was stirred at 60 °C for 15 h. After cooling, the solvent
was removed under a vacuum. The crude PEG-function-
alized triethoxysilane 1 was purified by the reprecipitation
method using toluene and hexane at 0 °C. The resulting
white solid was dried under a vacuum to afford 1 (1.39 g).

.1 General
All catalyst preparation and reactions were carried out
under a nitrogen atmosphere. Chemicals and dry solvents
were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich Co., Tokyo Chemical
Industry Co., Ltd., and Wako Pure Chemical Industries,
Ltd., and used without further purification. Ethyl 4-bro-
mobenzoate and 4-tert-butyltoluene were degassed by
freeze–pump–thaw (FPT) cycles. Palladium (II) acetate
was supplied by N.E. CHEMCAT Co., while amorphous
silica CARiACT Q-3 was supplied by Fuji Silysia Chem-
ical Ltd. Ordered mesoporous silica SBA-15 was prepared
according to the literature [25, 26]. 3-(Diphenylphos-
phino)propyltrimethoxysilane (2) was synthesized accord-
ing to the literature [27].

2.2.2 Preparation of Modified Silica Supports
Nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms were mea-
sured at -196 °C using a Bel Japan BELSORP-mini II
analyzer. Specific surface areas were calculated by the
BET method. Pore size distributions were calculated from
the adsorption branch of nitrogen isotherms using the BJH
Typically, silica (2 g) was dried under a vacuum at 80 °C
for 3 h. After cooling, diglyme (20 mL) and PEG com-
pound 1 (1 g) were added. The resulting mixture was
stirred at 110 °C for three days. The suspension was fil-
tered, and the solid residue was washed successively with
THF, toluene, chloroform, and methanol. The resulting
solid was dried under a vacuum at 80 °C for 3 h. To a
suspension of the PEG-modified silica (1 g) in dry toluene
(10 mL) was added 2 (0.4 mL). The reaction mixture was
refluxed for three days. The suspension was filtered, and

were recorded on a Bruker AVANCE 400WB spectrometer
equipped with a 4 mm CP/MAS probe head. Liquid NMR
spectra were recorded on a JEOL JNM-Lambda 400
spectrometer. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
measurements were carried out using a JEOL JEM-2010F
with an acceleration voltage of 200 kV. Elemental com-
positions of carbon and phosphorous were determined by a
CE Instruments EA 1112 elemental analyzer and a Shi-
madzu EDX-800HS energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer
the Ph P-grafted silica was washed successively with tol-

Shimadzu GC-14B gas chromatograph with a TCD
equipped with an OV-101 column. Palladium concentra-
tions in reaction solutions were measured using a Shima-
dzu ICPS-8100 inductively coupled plasma-optical
emission spectrometer (ICP-OES).
Typically, the modified silica PEG-Q-PPh2 (0.5 g) was
dried under a vacuum at 80 °C for 3 h prior to use in
complexation. After cooling, THF (4 mL) and palladium
acetate (8.3 mg) were added. The mixture was stirred at
room temperature for 20 h. Then, the solvent was evapo-
rated, and the resulting solid was dried under a vacuum at
room temperature for 3 h.
