Abstract

Mizoroki–Heck reaction is carried out in a novel hydrophobic fluorous ionic liquid which was catalyzed by Pd-nanoparticles formed in situ from Pd (OAc) 2 used in the reaction. This reaction is operable under mild, aerobic, and ligand-free conditions in excellent yields. Aryl iodides, bromides as well as chlorides can be used showing its versatility. The key feature of the system is that catalyst along with ionic liquid can be reused at least five times with ...
