“…Although most known heterogeneous catalysts have been demonstrated to be able to be recycled for use in further runs, the use of catalytic amounts of 0.2–5 mol% of Pd for the Sonagashira reaction is still too high for a single batch reaction when compared with homogeneous catalysts [ 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ]. We have recently prepared a nanosized MCM-41 grafted palladium bipyridyl complex, NS-MCM-41-Pd ( Figure 1 ), as a highly efficient and recyclable catalyst for the Mizoroki-Heck reaction [ 55 ], Kumada-Tamao-Corriu reaction [ 56 ], ketone formation [ 57 ], and ynone formation [ 58 ], which require a very low catalyst loading for a single batch reaction.…”
