4°C

Highly Purified

Allylpalladium(II) chloride dimer is a homogeneous catalyst that can be used for the asymmetric synthesis of organosilicon compounds. It is an allylation agent and has been shown to react with certain nitrogen-containing compounds to form a palladium nitride complex. This compound is also a good transport agent, due to its high solubility in organic solvents. Allylpalladium(II) chloride dimer has been shown to be effective in the production of cancer chemotherapeutic agents, including chlorambucil, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen. This catalyst has also been used for cross-coupling reactions with alkyl bromides and iodides. A major drawback of this catalyst is that it often leads to an isolated yield of the product, which can be improved by using a solvent or by adding water or alcohols.
