Palladium(II) acetate, Pd(OAc) 2. Most ionic compounds of palladium involve the Pd 2+ oxidation state. Palladium(II) chloride is a starting point in the synthesis of other palladium compounds and complexes. [1] Palladium(II) acetate plus triphenylphosphine is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis. [2]
Palladium catalysis is primarily employed in organic chemistry and industrial applications, although its use is growing as a tool for synthetic biology; in 2017, effective in vivo catalytic activity of palladium nanoparticles was demonstrated in mammals to treat disease. [50]
Organopalladium chemistry is a branch of organometallic chemistry that deals with organic palladium compounds and their reactions. Palladium is often used as a catalyst in the reduction of alkenes and alkynes with hydrogen. This process involves the formation of a palladium-carbon covalent bond.
Catalysts are often based on palladium, which is frequently selected due to high functional group tolerance. Organopalladium compounds are generally stable towards water and air. Palladium catalysts can be problematic for the pharmaceutical industry, which faces extensive regulation regarding heavy metals.
Palladium on carbon is a common catalyst for hydrogenolysis. Such reactions are helpful in deprotection strategies. Particularly common substrates for hydrogenolysis are benzyl ethers: [5] Other labile substituents are also susceptible to cleavage by this reagent. [6]
This complex is destroyed in the next step. The Pd(0) complex is regenerated by reductive elimination of the palladium(II) compound by potassium carbonate in the final step, D. In the course of the reaction the carbonate is stoichiometrically consumed and palladium is truly a catalyst and used in catalytic amounts.
The Quinox-ligated palladium catalyst is used to favor ketone formation when substrate contains a directing group (Figure 2, B). [34] When such substrate bind to Pd(Quinox)(OOtBu), this complex is coordinately saturated which prevents the binding of the directing group, and results in formation of the Markovnikov product.
Starting with a zerovalent palladium species and a substrate containing a leaving group in the allylic position, the Tsuji–Trost reaction proceeds through the catalytic cycle outlined below. Catalytic cycle of the Tsuji-Trost reaction. First, the palladium coordinates to the alkene, forming a η 2 π-allyl-Pd 0 Π complex.
