Significance

The perfluoroalkylated polystyrene resin-supported tri[(heptadecafluorodecyl)phenyl]phosphine palladium complex was prepared and found to promote the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. Thus, the crosslinked perfluoroalkylated polystyrene beads 1 were prepared from 4-(perfluoro-n-octyl)styrene, divinylbenzene, and styrene via polymerization with AIBN. The reaction of fluoro-resin 1 with {PdCl2[P(4-C6H4C2H4C8F17)3]2} 2 gave the polymer-supported complex 3. The ­Suzuki-Miyaura cross-­coupling of 4-bromoaceto­phenone (4) and phenylboronic acid (5) was carried out in the presence of polymeric catalyst 3 to give the coupling product 6 with 99% conversion.
