Abstract
The paper describes the synthesis of a novel nano-sized phosphine-free benzothiazole-based palladium(II) complexes from easily accessible starting materials and study their efficiency as catalysts for Suzuki Miyaura cross coupling reaction using water as a solvent under microwaves irradiations. Structural elucidation of the novel nano-sized benzthiazole-based complexes was achieved by analytical and physical characterization tools. The catalytic activity of the novel nanocatalysts was invetigated for SMC of aryl halides with arylboronic acids using water as a solvent and under microwaves irradiation conditions as green mild reaction conditions.
