Abstract
Suzuki reaction is a carbon-carbon coupling reaction that has found a wide range of
applications in drug industry and synthesis of natural products. Nowadays homogeneous
catalysis is more preferable than heterogeneous due to higher efficiency, but homogeneous
catalysis has difficulties in terms of separation from final products. Nowadays scientists work
on the improvement of efficiency of heterogeneous catalysis, but further work is still required
in order to attract demand in industry. In this way, nanoparticles attracted the attention of
people since they form colloidal solution that has high efficiency like homogeneous catalysis
or could be immobilized on solid support and could be easily separated from products. Thus,
nanoparticles have higher surface-to-volume ratio and can be easier separated from products,
so they combine main advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic systems,
namely high efficiency and easy separation respectively.
