General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Find details here.
[1,1′-Bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) (PdCl2(dtbpf)) participates as catalyst in Suzuki and Heck reactions. It is a preformed catalyst synthesized by a group of researchers at Johnson Matthey′s Catalysis and Chiral Technologies. It is an active catalyst for various Pd catalyzed cross-coupling reactions.
[1,1′-Bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) is an air-stable, highly active and versatile catalyst. It is an efficient catalyst for cross-coupling reactions. It participates as catalyst in various coupling reactions of the fine chemicals and pharmaceutical chemicals. It is commonly employed as homogeneous catalyst in the Suzuki reactions.

PdCl2(dtbpf) is an air-stable cross-coupling catalyst used in the Suzuki coupling of various aryl chlorides.

Application

[1,1′-Bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) (PdCl2(dtbpf)) may be used as catalyst in the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of various aromatic and heteroaromatic halides with methyliminodiacetic acid derivatives (MIDA boronates) at room temperature (in the absence of organic solvent). It may be employed as catalyst for the synthesis of chalcones, via cross-coupling reactions.
[1,1′-Bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) was used in the preparation of [PdCl2(bisphosphinometallocene)] complexes. These complexes are reported to be the catalyst precursors for the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction.
It is also employed as catalyst for greener Suzuki cross-coupling in TPGS-750-M.
