Abstract

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.
