Progress in Organic Synthesis Reactions Catalyzed by Palladium Supported on Magnetic Nanoparticles

The organic synthesis reactions catalyzed by palladium supported on magnetic nanoparticles have attracted con- sideralbe attention because catalytic activity is excellent and supported catalyst can be separated easily with an external mag- net and reused several times. In this paper, the advances in the organic synthesis reactions catalyzed by palladium supported on magnetic nanoparticles have been reviewed. Fe3O4 nanoparticles, organic small molecles modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles, SiO2 modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles, carbon modified magnetic nanopartilces, hydroxyapatite modified magnetic nanopartilces and polymer modified magnetic nanopartilces were used to support the palladium catalysts.
