C(sp2)-C(sp2) cross coupling reaction catalyzed by a water-stable palladium complex supported onto nanomagnetite particles

A water-stable palladium complex supported onto nanomagnetite particles was prepared and characterized. The nanocatalyst showed excellent reusability and activity in aqueous phase processes including the C(sp(2))- C(sp(2)) cross coupling reactions. The advantages of the protocol are its generality, high yields, short reaction time, a cleaner reaction profile, and simplicity.
