Chloro[(1,2,3-η)-1-phenyl-2-propen-1-yl]-[1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene]-palladium(II)

Chloro[(1,2,3-η)-1-phenyl-2-propen-1-yl]-[1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene]-palladium(II) is commonly used as a metal Catalyst. Palladium-catalyzed reactions have become increasingly important in the field of organic synthesis. Among the most important are Heck arylations and vinylations, additions to π-allyls (Tsuji-Trost reaction) and cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Stille, Negishi, Sonogashira and aromatic carbon-heteroatom bond-forming procedures.
