CAS 42196-31-6: Palladium(II) trifluoroacetate

Palladium(II) trifluoroacetate is used in the preparation of allyl-palladium complexes. It acts as a catalyst used in the mild decarboxylation of electron-rich aromatic acids and the direct cross-coupling of unactivated arenes. Further, it is involved in the selective allylic oxidation of geranylacetone and other olefins to their allyl acetates in order to prepare keto alcohols.

Palladium(II) trifluoroacetate is a palladium complex with the chemical formula PdCl(CF3CO2). It is soluble in water and reacts with hydroxide solution to form palladium oxide. Palladium complexes have been used as diagnostic agents for their ability to selectively bind to specific proteins. Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric syntheses of organic compounds, such as natural products and pharmaceuticals, are also possible. Palladium complexes often undergo metathesis reactions, which involve the transfer of one ligand from one metal complex to another. The use of deuterium isotopes can be used to differentiate between the two types of palladium complexes that undergo metathesis reactions.
