Efficient Suzuki coupling over novel magnetic nanoparticle: Fe3O4/L-(+)-tartaric acid/Pd(0).

A new eco-friendly catalytic system is devised for C-C bond formation through Suzuki coupling, using an impressive nanocatalyst (Fe3O4/L-(+)-tartaric acid/Pd-NPs). It contains immobilized palladium (0) onto magnetite nanoparticles, stabilized by tartaric acid, and is characterized by FT-IR, XRD, EDS, SEM, TEM, TGA, and VSM. The catalyst is used in an efficient synthesis of biaryls in EtOH/H2O (1:1), in the presence of K2CO3. Our Fe3O4/tartaric acid/Pd-NPs exhibit magnetic recoverability and reusability for five cycles without measurable loss of its activity.
