Abstract
The Heck coupling of halobenzenes with various alkenes and the Suzuki cross coupling of halobenzenes with phenylboronic acid were successfully performed in glycerol as the reaction solvent using homogeneous and heterogeneous palladium catalysts. Glycerol is a renewable and recyclable green solvent that is able to dissolve organic substrates, inorganic bases, and palladium complexes, and that allows easy isolation of the reaction product by simple extraction with glycerol-immiscible solvents such as diethyl ether, hexane, and dichloromethane.
