General description
Potassium carbonate is an inorganic base. It participates as base in the palladacycle catalyzed Heck reaction of chlorobenzene with styrene.
Application
Potassium carbonate was used in the following studies:
- Synthesis of polysubstituted iodobenzene derivatives.
- As base for the synthesis of high molecular weight homopolymers and copolymers derived from various bisphenols.
- As base for the Suzuki coupling of aryl halides with aryl boronic acids.
- As base for the Heck reaction of styrene and bromobenzene.
