Highly Active Heterogeneous PdCl2/MOF Catalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura Cross‐Coupling Reactions of Aryl Chloride

Abstract

The exploration of highly efficient Pd/MOF heterogeneous catalyst system for the Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling (SMC) reactions of aryl chlorides is still challenging. Herein, a PdCl2/UiO‐67‐bpydc was successfully synthesized by immobilizing a low amount of PdCl2 onto the zirconium‐based MOF (UiO‐67‐bpydc). PdCl2/UiO‐67‐bpydc showed excellent catalytic performance and good recycle ability for the SMC reaction of aryl chlorides under an ambient condition. Furthermore, PdCl2/UiO‐67‐bpydc retains the high catalytic activity even after five cycles, and exhibited excellent substrate size selectivity.
