Insights on Bimetallic Micellar Nanocatalysis for Buchwald–Hartwig Aminations

A nanocatalyst for micellar Buchwald–Hartwig aminations is developed, thoroughly characterized, and applied on a variety of substrates. The catalyst is stable under ambient conditions for at least six months. The catalyst retained its activity after several cycles, and its structure remained intact as confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. Association of Pd nanoparticles with Cu by a phosphine ligand is revealed by 31P NMR spectroscopy, and their...
