Abstract

Pd(0) nanoparticles supported on modified crosslinked polyacrylamide containing phosphinite ligand was prepared. The complex was a highly efficient catalyst for the Sonogashira– Hagihara coupling reaction in the absence of a copper cocatalyst and an amine base under aerobic condition. This protocol can be applied for different aryl halides including chloroarenes. The catalyst can be reused several times without any considerable decrease in its activity because of low leaching of palladium metal from the support. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of the catalyst revealed the formation of stable and polydispersed Pd(0) nanoparticles.
