Facile Synthesis of a High Performance NiPd@CMK‐3 Nanocatalyst for Mild Suzuki‐Miyaura Coupling Reactions

Highly dispersed nickel‐palladium bimetallic nanoparticles (∼2 nm) on ordered mesoporous carbon CMK‐3 (NiPd@CMK‐3) were simply prepared using a co‐infiltration method of the metal salts. The nanoparticles were successfully applied to the mild Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling reactions at 25∼50 °C using 4‐bromoanisole and phenylboronic acid, and showed excellent catalytic performance with the high activity (0.521×10−3 molc ⋅ gam−1 ⋅ s−1) and productivity (69.1 gp ⋅ gcat−1 ⋅ h−1).
