Cyanation of aryl halides and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction using palladium nanoparticles anchored on developed biodegradable microbeads

This work reports i) green synthesis of palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) on the developed biodegradable microbeads as stabilizers, featuring chitosan, agarose and beta-cyclodextrin, ii) investigation of the catalytic role of the Pd NPs prepared in the Suzuki-Miyaura and iii) cyanation reactions. Pd NPs@microcapsules (CAP) convert a series of aryl halides to biphenyl compounds with yields ranging from 79 to 98%. Pd NPs@CAP is highly active in the...
