Effective bimetallic composite catalysts for the synthesis of arylated furans and thiophenes in aqueous media

[Figure not available: see fulltext.] N-(4,6-Dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-5-phenylisoxazole-3-carboxamide was used as a ligand for obtaining bimetallic boron-containing heterogeneous catalysts Pd–Ni(Co)–B–L (Ni(Co):Pd = 9:1). The obtained composites were highly active as catalysts of Suzuki reaction in aqueous media, allowing to develop convenient methods for the synthesis of heterobiaryls containing furyl and thienyl rings. © 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
