Abstract

Palladium supported on vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Pd/VA-CNTs) is used as catalyst for the CC coupling reactions of p-iodonitrobenzene with styrene and ethyl acrylate under microwaves irradiation. Pd/VA-CNTs catalyst exhibits higher activity compared to Pd supported on activated charcoal, under the same reaction conditions. Due to the microwaves irradiation, the kinetics of the reaction is strongly accelerated compared ...
