Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction catalyzed by Pd/MgLa mixed oxide

Abstract

A new, reusable Pd/MgLa mixed oxide catalyst has been applied successfully in the Suzuki–Miyaura carbon–carbon cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides as well as benzylic bromide with boronic acids in ethanol. The catalyst is air stable, can be stored and handled under an ambient atmosphere and after the reaction it can be recovered by simple filtration and reused without significant loss of activity.
