Ultrasound promoted C–C bond formation: Heck reaction at ambient conditions in room temperature ionic liquids
Abstract
Heck reaction proceeds at ambient temperature (30 °C) with considerably enhanced reaction rate (1.5–3 h) through the formation of Pd–biscarbene complexes and stabilized clusters of zero-valent Pd nanoparticles in ionic liquids under ultrasonic irradiation.
