Аллилпалладия (II) хлорид димер

Химические свойства

Allylpalladium(II) chloride dimer is a yellow powder with the formula [(η3-C3H5)PdCl]2. This compound is an important catalyst used in organic synthesis. It is one of the most widely used transition metal allyl complexes.

Использование

Allylpalladium(II) chloride dimer is used as an important catalyst in Heck reaction. It reacts with cyclopentadienyl anion to give cyclopentadienyl allyl palladium. It acts as a precatalyst for asymmetric and cross-coupling catalysis. Further, it is used in the preparation of 1,4-diallyl-1,2-dihydroisoquinolines. It is also employed as a catalyst for greener Buchwald-Hartwig coupling reaction and involved in the synthesis of cationic palladium catalysts. In addition, it takes part in preparation of -heterocyclic carbene-palladium-eta3-allyl chloride complex, which is an efficient catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions in synthetic chemistry.
