Immobilized Pd on magnetic nanoparticles bearing proline as a highly efficient and retrievable Suzuki–Miyaura catalyst in aqueous media

A magnetically retrievable nanocatalyst was evaluated for amicrowave assisted Suzuki–Miyaura reaction in aqueous media.Excellent yields and conversions were obtained with low Pd loadings(down to 0.01 mol% Pd). It was stable up to 6 months in waterunder aerobic conditions and efficiency remained unaltered evenafter 7 repeated cycles. Refereed/Peer-reviewed
