Palladium 2‐mercapto‐<i>N</i>‐propylacetamide complex anchored onto MCM‐41 as efficient and reusable nanocatalyst for Suzuki, Stille and Heck reactions and amination of aryl halides

A palladium 2‐mercapto‐ N ‐propylacetamide complex supported on functionalized MCM‐41 was prepared by a post‐grafting method and considered as an efficient catalyst for CC cross‐coupling reactions between various aryl halides and sodium tetraphenylborate, phenylboronic acid, triphenyltin chloride or alkenes. Also, this catalyst shows good reactivity towards amination of aryl halides. This nanocatalyst was characterized using thermogravimetric analysis, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma and transmission electron microscopy techniques. Further results indicated that the heterogeneous catalyst could be recovered easily and reused several times without any loss of its catalytic activity. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.
