A novel Merrifield resin immobilized phenanthroline-palladium(II)
complex has been developed and was found to be an efficient catalyst
for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between arylboronic
acids and a range of aryl halides under mild reaction conditions.
The catalyst exhibited both high catalytic activity and stability
for Suzuki-Miyaura reaction. Furthermore, the catalyst could
be recycled at least 10 times without a significant loss of catalytic
activity.
