<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-Dimethylformamide-stabilised palladium nanoparticles combined with bathophenanthroline as catalyst for transfer vinylation of alcohols from vinyl ether
We report N,N-dimethylformamide-stabilised Pd nanoparticle (Pd NP)-catalysed transfervinylation of alcohols fromvinyl ether. Pd NPs combined with bathophenanthroline exhibited high catalytic activity. This reaction proceeded with low catalyst loading and the catalyst remained effective even after many rounds of recycling. The observation of the catalyst using transmission electron microscopy and
