A new, heterogeneous, 4 A molecular sieve-supported copper(ii) catalyst was developed and was used successfully in the A(3) coupling of alkynes, aldehydes and amines under simple reaction conditions.

A new, reusable palladium/magnesium-lanthanum mixed oxide catalyst has been found to exhibit unprecedented high catalytic activity and selectivity for the heterogeneous Heck cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides with alkenes. The nature of the aryl halides has a determinate effect on the reaction yield. The corresponding reactions of a wide range of activated and non-activated aryl bromides and chlorides furnished the arylated product with high E/Z isomer ratios even already at 80 8C. The stereoselectivity depended on the nature of the olefins.

A new, reusable Pd/MgLa mixed oxide catalyst has been applied successfully in the Suzuki-Miyaura carbon-carbon cross-coupling reaction of aryl halides as well as benzylic bromide with boronic acids in ethanol. The catalyst is air stable, can be stored and handled under an ambient atmosphere and after the reaction it can be recovered by simple filtration and reused without significant loss of activity.
