Pd-SBA-15 como catalizador en la reacción de Suzuki-Miyaura

Mesoporous silicate SBA-15 is member of a series of materials with high specific areas, pores of defined size and easily modified surfaces, which have been of interest for some years in various branches of chemistry to be used as adsorbents and catalytic support. When the SBA-15 is functionalized with metals such as palladium (Pd), we obtain useful catalytic solids in organic synthesis. In this work, palladiumfunctionalized SBA-15 materials were synthesized by "in situ" and "post-synthesis" techniques, which were characterized and then evaluated as catalysts in a Susuki- Miyaura type reaction cross coupling reaction to obtain biphenyl.
