《One-pot synthesis of bio-supported Pd nanoparticles by using clove leaf and their catalytic performance for Suzuki coupling reaction》 was published in Journal of Molecular Structure in 2020. These research results belong to Wang, Zhen; Bai, Xuefeng. Electric Literature of C7H4BrN The article mentions the following:
Bio-supported palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs/RCL-b) were synthesized by one-pot method without adding any chem. reducing and stabilizing agents. In the preparation process, Clove leaf (CL) was used as carrier, reducing and stabilizing agents. The extraction of reducing compounds from CL, the reduction and stabilization of Pd2+, and palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) loading on the extraction residue of CL (RCL) were accomplished simultaneously, avoiding the agglomeration of PdNPs and ensuring PdNPs loading evenly on RCL. The prepared PdNPs/RCL-b catalysts were characterized by XRD, UV-Vis, Micro-IR spectroscopy, FT-IR and TEM. The hydroxyl groups and other reductive groups which exist in polyphenols and flavonoids reduced Pd2+ to PdNPs, while the C=O, C-O and other groups containing O served as good protective agents and stabilizers for the formation of PdNPs. The PdNPs had a face-centered cubic structure with a particle size distribution of 1.26-8.78 nm and an average particle size of 4.49 nm, and uniformly dispersed on the surface of RCL. The results of catalytic Suzuki coupling reaction between 4-bromonitrobenzene and phenylboronic acid over PdNPs/RCL-b at 60°C showed that the yield was 96.22% for 20 min and the value of TOF was 5773.2 h-1. After the reaction between 4-bromotoluene and phenylboronic acid repeated for 8 times, the yield remains above 91%. This method provides a more facile, efficient and green approach to the preparation of supported nano-palladium catalysts. After reading the article, we found that the author used 4-Bromobenzonitrile(cas: 623-00-7Electric Literature of C7H4BrN)
4-Bromobenzonitrile(cas: 623-00-7) is classified as organic nitriles, which are commonly use solvents and are reacted further for various applications such as manufacture of polymers and intermediates for pharmaceuticals and other organic chemicals,Electric Literature of C7H4BrN It can also be used as an aryl halide test compound in developing greener reaction conditions for Suzuki cross-coupling between aryl halides and phenyl boronic acid.
