Pd(OAc) 2 /[C 18 –DABCO–C 18 ]2Br: a nano palladium catalytic approach for Mizoroki–Heck and Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions in water

In this study, we have successfully used a new catalytic system comprised of Pd(OAc) 2 and [C 18 –DABCO–C 18 ]2Br (at a ratio of 1 : 10 mol%) for various types of C–C coupling reactions, including Mizoroki–Heck and Suzuki–Miyaura, in a water-based medium.
