Palladium supported on poly(N-vinylimidazole) or poly(N-vinylimidazole-co-N-vinylcaprolactam) as a new recyclable catalyst for the Mizoroki-Heck reaction

A new catalytic system based on the palladium supported on poly(N-vinylimidazole) or poly(N-vinylimidazole-co-N-vinylcaprolactam) was investigated. High efficiency of the catalyst along with its recycling ability was demonstrated in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
