Bis(acetonitrile)dichloropalladium(II) is a yellow-brown solid that is soluble in organic solvents. It is a reagent and a catalyst for reactions that require soluble Pd(II).The compound is similar to bis(benzonitrile)palladium dichloride.
It is used as a catalyst in an ether-directed aza-Claisen rearrangement. Also used in cyclization and cross-coupling reactions. It is applied for olefin isomerization, preparation of acetals and hemiacetal esters.
Catalyst used in an ether-directed aza-Claisen rearrangement.
Synthesis of Oxindoles
To a dried screw-cap vial is added anilide (0.3 mmol), AgOCOCF3 (132.5 mg, 0.6 mmol), Bis(acetonitrile)dichloropalladium(II)
(3.5 mg, 0.015 mmol) and chlorobenzene. The reaction mixture is stirred
at 100-120 °C for 3-12 h in a pre-heated oil bath. After cooling to
room temperature, the reaction is diluted with EtOAc and filtered with a
glass filter. The filtrate is washed with 5% aqueous NaHCO3 and brine. The extract is dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude is purified by preparative TLC.
Bis(acetonitrile)palladium dichloride is prepared by reacting two acetonitrile ligands and palladium(II) chloride.
This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency.
