Facile Synthesis of Palladium Nanoparticles Supported on Urea-based Porous Organic Polymers and its Catalytic Properties in Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling

By using urea linked porous organic polymers as template, a new nano palladium catalyst with low Pd loading can be easily prepared (1.0 wt% Pd only). Although such less amount of Pd was contained in this new catalyst, it is still an effective catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of aryl iodines and aryl boric acids, affording biphenyl products in excellent yields with outstandingly enhanced turnover numbers (up to 10,536) under green solvent (water).
