NC was prepared from the waste cotton cloth according to the procedure reported by NAME_1 et al. [50] . NC has been inves- tigated for the Pd(OAc) 2 -catalyzed Suzuki reaction and the results 
are listed in Table 1 . A test reaction between 4-bromotoluene ( 1a ) (0.4 mmol) and phenylboronic acid ( 2 ) (1.2 eq.) was conducted us- ing NC (1 wt%), Pd(OAc) 2 (0.1 mol%) and K 2 CO 3 (2 eq.) in 3 mL water. The formation of 99% of biaryl, 3a was observed at rt in 5 h ( Table 1 , entry 1). The same reaction was also conducted using cellulose and found only the formation of 70% of 3a in 6h ( Table 1 , entry 2). Similarly, the reaction of 4-bromoanisole ( 1b ) with 2 us- ing NC and cellulose under the above conditions shows the for- mation of coupling product, 3b in 98% and 74% in 5 h and 6 h ( Table 1 , entries 3,4). These results indicates that the NC as best support than cellulose because of the small size and better adsorp- tion and adhesive properties of NC. The NC-based Suzuki reaction has further been screened to- wards the optimization of the reaction conditions using 1a (0.4 mmol), 2 (0.48 mmol, 1.2 eq.) in 3 mL of water ( Table 2 ). By us- ing the bases such as Cs 2 CO 3 , Na 2 CO 3 , Et 3 N, KF, NaOH and KOH the yields of 3a was observed in 50–90% at rt in 5–8 h ( Table 2 , entries 1–6), indicates that the K 2
