Di-chlorobis[(1,2,3-)-1-phenyl-2-propenyl]dipalladium(II)

Di-chlorobis[(1,2,3-)-1-phenyl-2-propenyl]dipalladium(ii) is an important organic regant for the use of transition-metal-mediated organic syntheses. It can be used as a catalyst for the ammonia cross-coupling reactions to synthesize arylamines and conversion of aryl triflates to fluorides.

1. Precursor for the preparation of a palladium catalyst used in the carbonylative arylation of ketones, yielding vinylbenzoate compounds.
2. Precursor for the preparation of a palladium catalyst used in the Buchwald-Hartwig amination of (hetero)aryl chlorides.
3. Precursor for the preparation of a palladium catalyst used in the arylative dearomatization of phenols.
4. Versatile palladium precursor for the preparation of palladium catalysts used in the cross-coupling of aryl chlorides and amines , conversion of aryl triflates to aryl fluorides , and the α-arylation of aldehydes .

Palladium(π-cinnamyl) chloride dimer can be used as a catalyst for the:

• Ammonia cross-coupling reactions to synthesize arylamines.
• Conversion of aryl triflates to fluorides.

It can also be used as a source of palladium in the asymmetric α-arylation of amides.
