General description

Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (Pd2(dba)3) is a versatile compound widely used as a Pd(0) source in various Pd-mediated transformations. Pd2(dba)3 is known for its high reactivity and ability to facilitate oxidative addition reactions. It is prepared by reacting palladium salts with dibenzylideneacetone ligands. It acts as a catalyst for several reactions including Suzuki cross-coupling, Heck coupling, arylation, Buchwald-Hartwig amination, and fluorination. It is often used in catalytic amounts and has been shown to be effective in promoting coupling reactions between aryl halides and boronic acids.

For small scale and high throughput uses, product is also available as ChemBeads (919772)

The total synthesis of (-)-aurantioclavine (1) was accomplished based on an intramolecular asymmetric amination of allyl carbonate 3 containing a p-tosylamide group. The reaction using tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0), tBu-phosphinooxazoline, and Bu4NCl in CH2Cl2 gave azepane 2 in 77% yield with 95% enantiomeric

A novel and fully chemo- and stereoselective three component strategy leading to Z-α-chloroacrylates by a Pd(0)-catalyzed reaction of CO (1 atm) with 1,1-dichloro-1-alkenes and various alcohols is disclosed. This catalytic approach compares favourably with the Wittig type strategies as α-chloroacrylates

The enantioselective fluorination of readily available cyclic allylic chlorides with AgF has been accomplished using a Pd(0) catalyst and Trost bisphosphine ligand. The reactions proceed with unprecedented ease of operation for Pd-mediated nucleophilic fluorination, allowing access to highly enantioenriched cyclic
