Using a Design of Experiments approach the optimization of a Heck reaction catalyzed by a solid-supported sulfur-containing palladacycle was improved from 30% with large observable leaching to 88% with no observable leaching. Optimization of the Heck reaction of 4-bromoacetophenone with styrene by a polymer supported, sulfur-containing palladacycle, varying 6 factors at a total of 28 different levels, corresponding to 5760 different possibilities was undertaken. Conversion improved from 34%, with large observable leaching to 88% with no leaching. This was accomplished using a Design of Experiments approach facilitated by the Statistical Design Package, MODDE 7.0TM.
