An assembled complex of palladium and non-cross-linked amphiphilic polymer: a highly active and recyclable catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction

An insoluble and assembled catalyst of palladium and a non-cross-linked amphiphilic polymer were developed. In the presence of 50-500 ppm mol equiv of catalyst, the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction proceeded efficiently under organic solvent-free conditions. The catalyst was reused 10 times without any decrease in activity and was recycled without any special treatment.[structure: see text]
