Abstract

Employing Pd(OAc)2 immobilized on amorphous N,N-diethylaminopropyl alumina, Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl halide with arylboronic acid was realized in 50% aqueous ethanol at room temperature, which enabled repeated use up to four times in 96% average yield and achieved a turnover number of 15 000.

Typical Experimental Procedure: To a stirred solution of 4-bromoacetophenone (96 mg, 0.48 mmol), 4-acetylphen-ylboronic acid (110 mg, 0.67 mmol), and K2CO3 (141 mg, 1 mmol) in EtOH (1 mL) and H2O (1 mL) was added NDEAP-Al2O3-Pd(OAc)2 (256 mg, Pd loading: 0.1 mmol/g alumina, 0.026 mmol). After stirring for 5 min, the product was triturated with EtOAc several times. The combined organic layer was evaporated to dryness and the residue was purified by column chromatography (CH2Cl2-n-hexane, 3:10) to provide a biaryl product (121 mg, 100%).
