“…[7][8][9][10] Recently, relatively non-toxic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have drawn much attention due to their tunable reactivity, selectivity, and recyclability in challenging homo-and cross-coupling reactions, which could serve as an alternative for potentially toxic metalbased (e. g., Pd) catalysts. [2,9,[11][12][13][14] Even after developing these catalytically active AuNPs, finding reaction condition parame-ters that can provide the enhanced reactivity and selectivity of target molecules in mild and green environments can help to establish practical synthetic systems for the preparation of nontoxic products including food preservatives, medicines, and pharmaceutical intermediates. [3,[15][16][17] Among many reaction factors in CÀ C bond forming reactions using metal NP-based catalysts, the solvent and base are two main components, which could be additionally controlled to improve overall reaction yields.…”
