A novel bisoxazoline/Pd composite microsphere: a highly active catalyst for Heck reactions

Abstract

A novel bisoxazoline/Pd microsphere catalyst was successfully prepared. The structure of the solid catalyst was characterized by SEM, TGA and FT-IR. The catalyst exhibits excellent activity for the Heck reaction. Moreover, the catalyst shows outstanding stability and reusability, can be recovered simply and effectively and reused six times without any activity decrease.
