Polyaniline-anchored palladium catalyst-mediated Mizoroki-Heck and Suzuki-Miyaura reactions and one-pot Wittig-Heck and Wittig-Suzuki reactions

A polyaniline-anchored palladium catalyst was prepared and screened for coupling reactions of aryl halides. The robust and recyclable catalyst was effective in Mizoroki-Heck and Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of aryl bromides and aryl iodides. The catalyst system was further employed for one-pot Wittig-Heck and Wittig-Suzuki combinations to build conjugated compounds in good conversions. Copyright (c) 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
