ABSTRACT

Thimbles composed of polydicyclopentadiene retained Pd and phosphines used in Buchwald-Hartwig and Sonogashira coupling reactions but allowed the products to permeate. The products were isolated in high yields on the exteriors of the thimbles with no detectable contamination from phosphine and with Pd loadings as low as < 5.5 ppm.
