title: Cellulose-supported N-heterocyclic carbene-palladium catalyst: synthesis and its applications in the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction.
abstract: A cellulose-supported N-methylimidazole-palladium catalyst (Cell-NHC-Pd) was synthesized and used for Suzuki cross-coupling reactions between aryl halides and phenylboronic acids to create the corresponding coupling products in good to excellent yields. Moreover, the catalyst is easily recovered using only a few cycles of simple filtration.
