Phosphine-Functionalized Chitosan Microparticles as Support Materials for Palladium Nanoparticles in Heck Reactions

Herein, we investigated the activation and stabilization of Pd nanoparticles using microparticles of chitosan-functionalized with phosphine moieties. The catalytic activity of the prepared material was assessed in a series of Heck reactions, which demonst

Palladium and silk fibroin-containing magnetic nano-biocomposite: a highly efficient heterogeneous nanocatalyst in Heck coupling reactions

Supported metal catalysts, for instance, palladium, are one of the foundations of chemical reactions, especially in C–C bond formation. The present study reports preparation of a magnetically separable palladium-supported nano-biocomposite with a low cost and easy immobilization technique. Fibroin, a natural biodegradable polymer, was used through an in situ method to cover the Fe3O4 nanoparticles to make a nano-biocomposite followed by anchoring palladium on the fibroin surface. The morphology and the structure of palladium-supported nano-biocomposite Fe3O4@fibroin-Pd were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, TGA, SEM, EDX, and TEM techniques. Consequently, the nanocatalyst activity was evaluated in the Heck coupling reactions. Only a very small amount of the nanocatalyst was employed in the reaction, and it showed excellent catalytic activity; in most cases more than 90% efficiency. The significant advantages of employing this nanocatalyst include high catalytic activity, short reaction times, easy separation of the nanocatalyst with an external magnet and great reusability. The results demonstrated that the used nanocatalysts were very active for four consecutive reaction rounds.
