Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) or Pd2(dba)3 is an organometallic complex based on palladium and dibenzylideneacetone used in organic chemistry. It was discovered in 1970.[1]

[edit] Preparation and structure

It is prepared from dibenzylideneacetone and sodium tetrachloropalladate.[2] The complex has a dark-purple/brown color, and, because it is commonly recrystallized from chloroform, it is often supplied as the adduct Pd2(dba)3•CHCl3.

In Pd2(dba)3, the pair of Pd atoms are separated by 320 pm but are tied together by dba units.[3] The Pd(0) centres are bound to the alkene parts of the dba ligands.

[edit] Applications

Pd2(dba)3 is used as a source of soluble Pd(0), in particular as a catalyst for various coupling reactions, in which it undergoes oxidation to Pd(II). Examples of reactions using this reagent are the Negishi coupling, Suzuki coupling, Carroll rearrangement, and Trost asymmetric allylic alkylation, as well as Buchwald–Hartwig amination.[4] A related Pd(0) complex is tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0).
