Investigations into the potential of mechanochemistry in the design and application of nanosized catalysts have successfully synthesized supported palladium nanoparticles. These nanoparticles were then used as catalysts in the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction, achieving high productivity of the desired product.
The potentialities of mechanochemistry trough extrusion have been investigated for the design of nanosized catalysts and their use in C-C bond-forming reactions. The mechanochemical approach proved successful for the synthesis of supported palladium nanoparticles with mean diameter within 6-10 nm, achieved by the reduction of Pd(II) acetate with ethylene glycol, in the absence of any solvent. A mesoporous N-doped carbon derived from chitin as a renewable biopolymer, was used as a support. Thereafter, the resulting nanomaterials were tested as catalysts to implement a second extrusion based-protocol for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of iodobenzene and phenylboronic acid. The conversion and the selectivity of the reaction were 81% and >99%, respectively, with a productivity of the desired derivative, biphenyl, of 41 mmol gcat(-1) h(-1).
