{ALF} Catalyst for Stille and Heck coupling reactions in supercritical CO2, in combination with, e.g. Tris[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)­phenyl­]phosphine, L06941: Chem. Commun., 1397 (1998).

{ALF}

{ALF} Catalyzes the reduction of terminal allylic acetates or carbonates to 1-alkenes, with virtually complete regioselectivity: Synthesis, 623 (1986).

{ALF} For use in the coupling of aryl- or vinyltin reagents with allyl halides, see: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 105, 7173 (1983). For Suzuki coupling of boronic acids with carbapenem triflates, see: Tetrahedron Lett., 34, 3211 (1993).

{ALF} Stable source of phosphine-free Pd(0), useful in a variety of coupling reactions. Literature references to the use of either "Pd(dba)2" or "Pd2(dba)3" can normally be regarded as interchangeable since the catalyst is of somewhat variable composition depending on the exact method of preparation.

{ALF} In the presence of a chelating phosphine ligand and NaO-t-Bu, bromopyridines can be aminated: J. Org. Chem., 61, 7240 (1996):

{ALF} In the presence of allyl bromide, catalyzes the coupling of terminal alkynes to symmetrical diynes under phase-transfer conditions. The reaction is thought to involve a π-allyl Pd intermediate: Tetrahedron, 52, 1337 (1996).

{ALF} Catalyzes the hydroxycarbonylation of aryl and vinyl halides or triflates by lithium formate, to give carboxylic acids: Org. Lett., 5, 4269 (2003).
