This book describes an efficient technique for the immobilization of reagents and palladium catalyst on a solid polymeric framework and employing them in various C-C coupling reactions (e.g. Heck, Suzuki and Sonogashira coupling). The technique has also been applied in the Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation (CTH) of aldehydes and 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds using ruthenium as catalyst. Besides routine spectroscopic investigations (IR, UV-VIS, NMR and Mass spectroscopy), Magic Angle Spinning-NMR, Scanning Electron Microgram and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopic investigations which have been used for the studies are also illustrated in this book.
