Magnetically retrievable silica-based nickel nanocatalyst for Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction†
Abstract
A new magnetically recoverable silica-based nickel nanocatalyst was synthesized, characterized and applied for the first time as a catalyst in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. Excellent catalytic activity, ease of recovery and reusability up to six cycles without appreciable loss of performance make the present protocol beneficial from industrial and environmental viewpoints.
