ChemInform Abstract: PdCl₂(1‐Methylimidazole)₂‐Catalyzed Suzuki—Miyaura and Mizoroki—Heck Reactions Performed in Neat Water.

Abstract

Water. -A high yielding Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck coupling reaction with water as solvent and PdCl2(1-Methylimidazole)2 complex as catalyst is shown. Almost quantitative yields are possible under optimal conditions. -(LI, Y.; LIN, X.-F.; LIU, M.-Y.; ZHANG, L.-L.; JIN, A.-P.; LU*, J.-M.; J. Chem.
