Abstract

The Hiyama C–C coupling reaction of a wide range of aryl iodides and vinylsilanes has been performed using ligand-free solid catalysts based on supported palladium nanoparticles. Among the supports tested (Mg, TiO2, CeO2 and active carbon), the most active catalysts were those in which palladium is supported on MgO and TiO2. Analogous Pt and Au materials were inefficient to promote this reaction. Leaching tests suggest that ...
