It is a catalyst used in Stille reaction, hydrogenation reactions, Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and Heck-Mizoroki reactions, deoxygenation, oxidation reactions and coupling reactions.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
Applications
It is a catalyst used in Stille reaction, hydrogenation reactions, Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and Heck-Mizoroki reactions, deoxygenation, oxidation reactions and coupling reactions.
Solubility
Insoluble in water and organic solvents.
Notes
Palladium on carbon should always be handled under an inert atmosphere (preferably argon), and reaction vessels should be flushed with inert gas before the catalyst is added.
RUO – Research Use Only
Hydrogenation catalyst, which may be preferred where deactivation by the reaction products is possible:
Used in low-pressure hydrogenolysis of N-benzylamines: Org. Synth. Coll., 7, 152 (1990). Reduction of oximes to amines: Org. Synth. Coll., 5, 376 (1973). Widely used along with hydrogen donors such as Ammonium formate, A10699, Sodium formate, A17813, Formic acid, A13285, Cyclohexene, A11359, or Hydrazine monohydrate, A14005, for catalytic transfer hydrogenation reactions. In combination with Sodium borohydride, 13432, promotes the reduction of nitro-compounds to amines, where borohydride alone is ineffective: Synthesis, 713 (1987).
