A new nanomagnetic Pd-Co bimetallic alloy as catalyst in the Mizoroki–Heck and Buchwald–Hartwig amination reactions in aqueous media

A Pd-Co bimetallic alloy encapsulated in melamine-based dendrimer supported on magnetic nanoparticles denoted as γ-Fe 2 O 3 @MBD/Pd-Co was synthesized by a facile co-complexation-reduction method and characterized sufficiently. The catalytic evaluation of γ-Fe 2 O 3 @MBD/Pd-Co showed promising results in the Mizoroki–Heck and Buchwald–Hartwig amination reactions of various iodo-, bromo- and challenging chloroarenes in aqueous media.
