“…In this context, considering our previous developments in heterogeneous catalysis and carbonylation reactions, 12,13 we have established an easily accessible recyclable Pd@PS nano-catalyzed, ligand and direct CO gas free protocol for the synthesis of N -(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzamide scaffolds. The polystyrene supported palladium (Pd@PS) nanocatalyst is prepared by our previously established reduction deposition method and the formation of Pd@PS NPs is reconfirmed through SEM, TEM, and P-XRD techniques in order to identify the exact particle size and uniformity in the distribution of nanoparticles over the solid polymer matrix (Amberlite IRA 900 Cl − resin).…”
