Carbonylation Reactions of Iodoarenes with PAMAM Dendrimer-Palladium Catalysts Immobilized on Silica

Authors:

Abstract
Palladium complexes immobilized onto generation 0−3 PAMAM dendrimers supported on silica were used as catalysts for the carbonylation of iodobenzene in methanol to form methyl benzoate. High yields were obtained and the catalyst was recycled 4−5 times without significant loss of activity. The carbonylation reaction was found to be applicable to a variety of iodoarenes regardless of the nature of the substituent.
