Supported palladium nanoparticles as heterogeneous ligand-free catalysts for the Hiyama C C coupling of vinylsilanes and halobenzenes leading to styrenes
[EN] Palladium nanoparticles supported on magnesia is a highly efficient solid, reusable catalyst to promote in the absence of phosphine ligands the coupling of vinylsilanes with iodo- and bromobenzenes to form styrenes.Financial support by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (Consolider MULTICAT and CTQ 2012-32316) is gratefully acknowledged. The Generalidad Valenciana is also thanked for partial financial support (Prometeo Grant).Grirrane, A.; García Gómez, H.; Corma Canós, A. (2013).
