Abstract:
A practical and efficient method for synthesizing C-O cross-coupling has been established using a Pd complex anchored on mesoporous KIT-6. This design showcases exceptional efficiency, recoverability, and thermal stability. The synthesized mesostructure underwent comprehensive characterization through techniques such as FT-IR, SEM, XRD, EDX, BET, ICP, and TGA analyses. This catalyst was then successfully applied in C-O cross-coupling reactions. The approach offers several advantages, including rapid reaction times, high yields, excellent product purity, simplicity, environmental friendliness, and straightforward work-up procedures. Importantly, the durable nanohybrid catalyst exhibited no metal leaching and retained its catalytic performance across multiple cycles of use.

Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.

02:17Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
02:24Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
