C-H Activation and C-C Coupling of 4-Methylpyridine Using Palladium Supported on Nanoparticle Alumina

摘要

Nanotechnology has opened an exciting dimension in modern catalysis research, both in the study of the nanostructures of traditional heterogeneous catalysts and the application of nano-structured materials as catalyst supports. Not only has this opened up possibilities for improved performance of traditional catalysts and the development of new types of catalysts, it has also allowed the study of reaction systems that have not yet been optimized to a viable process for large scale production.
