General description

Palladium(II) trifluoroacetate is a catalyst used in Suzuki-Miyaura, Heck, and Stille cross-coupling reactions.

Application

Catalyst used for the mild decarboxylation of electron-rich aromatic acids and the direct cross-coupling of unactivated arenes.
Catalyzes the selective allylic oxidation of geranylacetone and other olefins to their allyl acetates, which can then be converted to keto alcohols.

Molecular oxygen can replace sacrificial olefins as the hydrogen acceptor in the palladium trifluoroacetate catalyzed dehydrogenation of cyclohexene and related cyclic olefins into aromatics. One of the major drawbacks of the homogeneous system is the tendency of the palladium trifluoroacetate

A palladium-catalyzed aromatic decarboxylation reaction has been developed. With electron-rich aromatic acids, the reaction proceeds efficiently under fairly mild conditions in good yields. The method was useful with complex functionalized substrates containing hindered carboxylic acids.

Boxing clever: Direct conversion of a terminal alkyne group into a beta-methoxyacrylate is realized with the aid of the bis(oxazoline) ligand (box). Acetyl and ketal protecting groups, free hydroxy groups, and acid-sensitive glycosidic bonds are not affected under the reaction

An enantioselective hydrogenation of simple fluorinated imines has been developed using Pd(OCOCF(3))(2)/(R)-Cl-MeO-BIPHEP as a catalyst, and up to 94% ee was achieved. This method provides an efficient route to enantioenriched fluorinated amines.
