Abstract
Tributylhexylammonium bistriflamide [(C4H9)(C6H13)N][(CF3SO2)2N], an ionic liquid, was used as a solvent for the Heck reaction of bromobenzene with styrene in the presence of Pd deposited onto a mesoporous carbon support. It was found that dibutylamine used as a basic reagent to scavenge hydrogen bromide results in higher conversions of the reactants and higher yields of stilbene than sodium acetate. It was shown that the IL is fully recoverable after use in the catalytic reaction.
