A variety of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions can be run under mild room temperature conditions in water with TPGS- 750-M, using a variety of commercially available palladium complexes and ligands.
TPGS-750-M, a second generation surfactant, may be used in water at room temperature for Buchwald-Hartwig Amination, Suzuki-Miyaura reactions, Heck reactions, Sonogashira reactions, Negishi reactions, and olefin metathesis.
