Minimizing base-stoichiometry in Pd(0)/g-C3N4O catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction A graphitic carbon nitride oxide (g-C3N4O) sheet decorated with biogenically synthesized Pd nanoparticles (NPs) is designed for an efficient heterogeneous Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. This graphitic oxide-based material Pd(0)/g-C3N4O is directed to not only function as a catalyst but also serves as a base; so as to substantially minimize the requirement of an exogenous base.

N,N’−dimethylurea as an efficient ligand for the synthesis of pharma-relevant motifs through Chan−Lam cross-coupling strategy Rakhee Saikia, Sanghamitra Das, Arzu Almin, Abhijit Mahanta, Bipul Sarma, Ashim Jyoti Thakur and Utpal Bora Abstract N,N’−dimethylurea (DMU) is introduced as a ligand to aid Chan−Lam N−arylation of primary amides, amines and 3−Aminophenols with arylboronic acids and its ester derivative as the arylating associate.
