Synthesis and characterization of MCM-41-Biurea-Pd as a heterogeneous nanocatalyst and using its catalytic efficacy in C-C, C-N and C-O coupling reactions

MCM-41-Biurea-Pd is introduced as a new, heterogeneous and reusable catalyst for C-C and C-heteroatom bond formation between various aryl halides, phenols and amines, in the presence of Ph3SnCl (Stille reaction) in PEG-400 as a green solvent at room temperature. The structure of the functionalized MCM-41 was analysed using various techniques.
