title: Remarkable dendritic effect in the polymer-supported catalysis of the Heck arylation of olefins.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Phosphine-palladium complexes, immobilized on polystyrene, demonstrated a remarkable increase in catalytic activity and selectivity in the Heck reaction upon the introduction of a dendritic spacer between the support and phosphine. For some reactions an up to 5-fold increase in yield is observed.
