Description General description It is an encapsulated catalyst (EnCat®), wherein palladium acetate and triphenylphosphine (TPP) are microencapsulated within a polyurea matrix, which prevents palladium leaching. Application Reaxa Technology Pd EnCat® TPP30 may be used as a catalyst for the microwave-assisted Sonogashira cross-coupling of: • Aryl iodides and bromides with terminal alkynes to form the corresponding coupling products under copper-free conditions. • Bromobenzotriazoles and arylacetylenes in the presence of 1,5-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undecene-5-ene (DBU) and copper iodide to form 2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole derivatives. Recyclable, immobilized catalyst system that simplifies removal of Pd in C-C bond forming and reduction processes. Packaging 1, 10, 100 g in glass bottle Features and Benefits The advantages of using Pd EnCat® catalysts are: • low residual metal levels in crude product • easy recovery of catalyst • compatibility of immobilized metal with various ligands to effect C-C bond forming reactions • safer and easier to handle than Pd/C for hydrogenation • efficiency and economy gains through recovery and recycling Other Notes Matrix content 30% Legal Information PdEncat® technology.
