Synthesis and characterization of MCM-41@Larginine@Pd(0) and its excellent catalytic activity as recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction

MCM-41@L-Arg@Pd(0) has been prepared by some consequent reactions. This nano structural material has been characterized by different techniques including; X-ray diffraction (XRD), TGA, BET, EDS, SEM, ICP-OES and FT-IR analysis. The synthesis of a variety of biphenyl compounds has been successfully achieved via a reaction of aryl halides with arylboronic acids in the presence of this nano structure (MCM-41@L-Arg@Pd(0)) as a green, mild, and versatile catalyst. Mild reaction conditions with excellent conversions of products and simple product isolation procedure are noteworthy advantages of this new methodology and catalyst. Recyclability and reusability of the newly synthesized catalyst make this protocol environmentally benign.
