Microwave Condition

ABSTRACT
Modern synthetic chemistry is sustained by the use of transition-metal catalysts as powerful tools
for carbon–carbon bond forming processes in academic and industrial research. Microwave
irradiation, solid-phase assistance and water solvent offer greener approaches to organic synthesis.
The catalytic activities of several oxime-based palladium(II)-complexes as precatalysts in the
Suzuki, Heck and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions of various activated and deactivated aryl
and heteroaryl halides in water under thermal heating as well as microwave irradiation conditions
are conducted in our laboratory. Factors affecting the optimization of the catalytic activities of these
precatalysts is highly important for mass production in industrial scales. All the synthesized
catalysts and organic products (aromatics and heteroaromatics) are well characterized by all
possible spectral and single crystal X-ray analyses.
