An eco-friendly, simple method for Matsuda–Heck arylation of olefins catalyzed by in situ formed Pd nanoparticles is described in water operable at ambient temperature. A variety of arenediazonium salts were coupled with olefins under ligand-free and aerobic conditions in high yields and stereoselectivity.
Key words
Matsuda–Heck - Pd nanoparticles - triton X 100 - diazonium salts - eco-friendly
