Abstract:
An efficient and reusable catalyst with PdEDTA immobilized in an ionic liquid brush and a green procedure have been developed for coupling aryl iodides and bromides with phenylboronic acid. These reactions were conducted in water under aerobic conditions with water-insoluble or even solid aryl halides. The protocol has the advantages of excellent yields, environmental friendliness, and catalyst recyclability. There was no apparent loss of catalyst efficiency until the 10th cycle.
