Abstract
An efficient Suzuki coupling protocol that affords reaction products in high purity without the need for chromatography or aqueous work-up is reported. The reaction, which utilises a combination of polymer-supported reagents, can be performed under thermal or microwave heating conditions and is particularly suited to parallel synthesis.
Key words
polymer-supported reagents - encapsulated palladium catalyst - microwave heating - Suzuki cross-coupling - parallel synthesis

6 Standard solution-phase conditions employed for Suzuki coupling reaction: To a solution of 4-iodoanisole (1 mmol) and 4-tolylboronic acid (2 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added Na2 CO3 (0.4 mmol), H2 O (2 mL) and Pd(OAc)2 EnCat™ (5 mol%, based on palladium content). The reaction mixture was stirred at 85 °C for 18 h.
7 MP-Carbonate was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich with a reported loading of 2.5-3.5 mmol/g.
