Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) was functionalized with two organic ligands, triethylenetetramine (TETA) or 2,6-diaminopyridine (DAP), followed by palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) for the synthesis of Pd NPs/GO-TETA and Pd NPs/GO-DAP nanocomposites, respectively. The two heterogeneous nanocomposites were fully characterized and their efficiency was investigated for CC bond formation for the synthesis of biaryl compounds via the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with arylboronic acid derivatives. The obtained results indicated that the Pd NPs/GO-TETA nanocomposite was more effective in the Suzuki coupling reaction as compared to Pd NPs/GO-DAP. Thus, the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of different aryl halides with arylboronic acid derivatives using Pd NPs/GO-TETA nanocomposite catalyst in the presence of Na2CO3 as base in DMF/H2O (1/1) as solvent at 90 °C was carried out to afford the desired biaryl compounds in high to excellent yields (81–100%) and short reaction times (10–90 min). Additionally, Pd NPs/GO-TETA nanocomposite can be recovered and reused for 8 consecutive runs without any apparent loss of its catalytic activity, proving its high stability and potential use in organic transformations.
