Graphene-Supported Palladium Complex: A Highly Efficient, Robust and Recyclable Catalyst for the Suzuki–Miyaura Cross-Coupling of Various Aryl Halides

Abstract

We present a novel strategy based on the immobilization of a palladium complex on reduced graphene oxide for the development of a heterogeneous catalytic system with high efficiency and good recyclability. The prepared catalyst was tested for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and shown to have a high catalytic efficiency, giving 83−98% conversion of the reactants under mild conditions. Moreover, it could be readily recycled and reused several times without significant loss of activity.

Key words

graphene oxide - Suzuki coupling - heterogeneous catalysis - palladium catalysis - catalyst support - aryl halides

• 44 Suzuki–Miyaura Reaction; General Procedure The appropriate aryl halide (1.0 mmol), PhB(OH)₂ (1.2 mmol), K₂CO₃ (2.0 mmol), and catalyst 3 (0.2 mol%) were heated in 1:1 EtOH–H₂O (3.5 mL). When the reaction was complete, the mixture was diluted with H₂O and CH₂Cl₂. The organic layer was separated, dried (MgSO₄), and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel. As all of the products are known, characterization was by comparison of their ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra with literature data.
