Remarkably facile Heck and Suzuki reactions in water using a simple cationic surfactant and ligand-free palladium catalysts

摘要

A facile surfactant mediated Heck and Suzuki coupling procedure in water has been developed using ligand-free Pd-catalysts.The procedure which involves nanometric palladium colloids,is operationally simple,environmentally benign and synthetically as efficient as conventional procedures using organic solvents.
