Pi-allyl palladium complex
Johnson Matthey鈥檚 proprietary pi-allyl palladium complexes are state-of-the-art catalyst technologies engineered for superior catalytic activity across a broad range of cross-coupling applications. The pi-allyl scaffold design enables rapid generation of highly active Pd-phosphine catalytic species under basic or reducing conditions without inhibitory byproduct formation.
Advantages of pi-allyl complexes:
- The air and moisture-stable pi-allyl complex products are offered as neutral chloride or cationic triflate complexes, enabling compatibility with the broadest scope of phosphine ligands to date.
- Tri-alkyl-phosphines, bidentate phosphines and even bulky, electron rich advanced generation Buchwald ligands can be accommodated by the versatile pi-allyl scaffold (1).
- Pi-allyl palladium complex technology has been shown to be superior to other pre-catalyst systems for Buchwald-Hartwig aminations and Suzuki-Miyaura couplings (1,2).
