Abstract

A novel polymer supported copper complex (m-PAN-Cu) is prepared by immobilizing Cuprous Iodide (CuI) on amidoxime modified Polyacrylonitrile (mPAN) and characterised by FTIR, XRD, EDX, ICP-MS and XPS analyses. This complex was further explored as a general and efficient heterogeneous catalyst for Heck coupling reaction of a series of aryl halides with olefins and afforded the corresponding coupling products in moderate to good yields. This catalyst offers easy preparation, good stability, excellent catalytic activity and reusability. This is the first study involving an amidoxime modified PAN supported copper catalyst towards greener and efficient Heck reaction.
