One-pot Synthesis of Dibenzyls and 3-Arylpropionic Acids Catalyzed by Linear Polystyrene-Stabilized Palladium Oxide Nanoparticles in Water

Abstract

Wat-er transformation! Linear, polystyrene-stabilized PdO nanoparticles (PS-PDONPs) are active catalysts for one-pot, multistep reactions in water. The one-pot synthesis of dibenzyls by sequential Suzuki coupling of β-bromostyrene with arylboronic acid and subsequent hydrogenation was achieved. The catalyst was recycled without significant loss of activity. As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the authors.
