Significance

A novel polymeric Pd catalyst, Pd-functionalized polydopamine-coated polyurethane foam (Pd@PDA@PUF), was readily prepared from polyurethane (PUF) through immersing-rinsing processes with dopamine and PdCl2(NH3)4. Pd@PDA@PUF catalyzed the semi-hydrogenation of terminal as well as internal alkynes with excellent alkene selectivity. Pd@PDA@PUF also promoted the Suzuki–Miyaura bialyl coupling efficiently under air.

Comment

Pd@PDA@PUF was readily recovered and reused without significant loss of its catalytic performance. A single cubic sample of Pd@PDA@PUF (8 cm3; Pd loading 7 μmol) catalyzed 15 consecutive catalytic reactions consisting five runs of semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene, five runs of Suzuki coupling of PhBr and PhB(OH)2, and again five runs of semi-hydrogenation of phenylacetylene; 0.23 mol% Pd for all reactions with 3 mmol of substrate in each run.
