A new family of well-defined NHC-Pd complexes immobilised onto silica, alumina and titania is reported. The catalysts display activity and recyclability in the Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions under batch and continuous flow conditions. Under batch conditions the new catalytic systems were recycled up to four times with yields over 80%. These catalysts have a broad substrate scope of different aryl bromides and alkynes. The titania-supported catalysts show good conversions under continuous flow conditions at least over 8 hours on stream using MeOH as solvent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
