Bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) diacetate can be used as a catalyst for C-C bond formation via Sonogashira coupling, Negishi coupling, Heck coupling, and Suzuki coupling reaction.
It can also be used as a catalyst to synthesize:
- Pyrido[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives by electro-oxidative intramolecular C-H/N-H annulation reaction.
- α, β-Unsaturated carboxylic acids by hydroxycarbonylation of vinyl triflates.
- Secondary imides by C-H functionalization of aldehydes with different N-substituted N-heteroarene-2-carboxamides.
