Application

Application Guide for Palladium Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions

Used in the synthesis of semiconducting metal-containing polymers in which the polypyrrole backbone has a conformational energy minimum and is nearly planar.
Palladium(II) chloride can be used to catalyze:
  • Cross-coupling reactions between terminal alkynes and aryl iodides or bromides under modified Sonogashira-Cassar-Heck conditions.
  • Carbonylation of organic tellurides with carbon monoxide to form corresponding methyl carboxylates.
  • Isomerization of allylic ester in acetic acid.
  • Carbonylation of amines to form isocyanates.
