Suzuki-Miyaura coupling catalyzed by polymer-incarcerated palladium, a highly active, recoverable, and reusable Pd catalyst

Suzuki-Miyaura coupling using a highly efficient and reusable polymer-incarcerated palladium (PI Pd) is described. Various coupling reactions proceeded smoothly using PI Pd with phosphine ligands, and the catalyst could be recovered by simple filtration and reused several times without loss of activity.
