Graphical Abstract

A tandem catalyst for Suzuki coupling of activated or deactivated aryl chlorides and aryl boronic acids in water and for phenol synthesis from aryl chlorides in 1:1 water/dioxane was obtained by supporting palladium nanoparticles on polyaniline nanofibers (PANI; see TEM image). Thus, 2-phenylphenol was synthesized from 1,2-dichlorobenzene (see equation).
