Combining enabling techniques in organic synthesis: solid-phase-assisted catalysis under microwave conditions using a stable Pd(II)-precatalyst

The catalytic activity of a 2-pyridinealdoxime-based Pd(II)-complex covalently anchored via the oxime moiety to a glass/polymer composite material was evaluated in Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl and heteroaryl halides, including arylchlorides, with aryl and heteroaryl boronic acids both under thermal as well as microwave irradiating conditions in water. The stability and reusability of this Pd-precatalyst is part of the present study.
