“…At very high concen-Microencapsulated Palladium Catalysts: Allylic Substitution and Suzuki Coupling Using a Recoverable and Reusable Polymer-Supported Palladium Catalyst** Ryo Akiyama and Shu Å Kobayashi* While palladium catalysts find wide-spread utility in a variety of transformations in organic synthesis, [1] they are expensive, air-sensitive, and cannot be recovered in many cases. Immobilized palladium catalysts have been expected to solve these problems, and several polymer-supported palladium catalysts have been developed for allylic substitution, [2, 9a,b,e] oligomerization, [2c, 3, 4] decarboxylation, [2d] hydrogenation, [4, 9g] isomerization, [5] telomerization, [6] Suzuki coupling, [7, 9c,d,h] and the Mizoroki ± Heck reaction, [4c, 8, 9f,h] etc. In most of these cases, however, recovery and reuse of the polymer catalysts have not been satisfactory.…”
