In situ generated and stabilized Pd nanoparticles by N-2, N-4, N-6-tridodecyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (TDTAT) as a reactive and efficient catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction in water

摘要

In situ generated Pd nanoparticles in the presence of N-2, N-4, N-6-tridodecyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine (TDTAT) were found to be an efficient catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction in water. It seems that TDTAT not only acts as a ligand for stabilization of the produced nanoparticles, but also as a surfactant to facilate the reaction in water, and reduces Pd(II) to Pd(0). The TEM analysis of the reaction mixture showed that Pd nanoparticles with an average size of similar to 5 nm are produced, which act as an efficient catalyst in the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction.
