Palladium supported on diaminoglyoxime‐functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles as a magnetically separable nanocatalyst in Heck coupling reaction

Abstract

A hybrid material of palladium supported on diaminoglyoxime‐functionalized Fe3O4 was used as an effective and recyclable catalyst in Mizoroki–Heck coupling reactions. The catalyst was very effective for the Mizoroki–Heck reaction of aryl halides with styrene and conversion was in most cases excellent. The yields of the products were in the range 75–98%. The catalyst showed good stability and could be recovered and reused for six reaction cycles without significant leaching and loss its catalytic activity. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
