Today homogeneous catalysis by palladium is a technically and commercially important tool. It has become established for the manufacture of commodities (acetaldehyde by the Hoechst-Wacker Process), as well as of specialties, fine chemicals, or pharmaceutical intermediates.
Our Chemical Products Business Unit has made it a core business to supply industry with homogeneous catalysts or their precursors that are matured and relevant to engineering.
Dichloro[1,1'-ferrocenylbis(diphenylphosphane)]palladium(II) dichloromethane
[PdCl2(dppf)] CH2Cl2
CAS: 95464-05-04
which contains the bidentate ferrocenyl phosphane ligand "dppf" (C34H28FeP2), is a new compound that we are manufacturing on a large scale and in the highest quality from now on.
This compound is mainly used as a homogeneous catalyst for highly selective C-C coupling reactions,
e.g. between vinyl or aryl halides and Grignard compounds. Avoiding side products is the main advantage of this complex over conventional Pd catalysts.
We quote you with pleasure. Please, do not hesitate to call us.
