Bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ferrocene Palladium(II) Dichloride
Bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ferrocene Palladium(II) Dichloride (CAS: 917511-90-1) is an air-stable, pre-formed palladium catalyst built on a bulky, electron-rich ferrocenyl bisphosphine ligand. The ligand accelerates reductive elimination, so couplings of hindered or functionalised substrates proceed at low catalyst loading, and the resulting complexes are unusually robust for a Pd(II) system. It is supplied as a yellow to orange crystalline powder that is easy to weigh and soluble in dichloromethane, toluene and similar solvents, making it convenient for both discovery chemistry and pilot-scale process development.
• Cross-coupling catalysis: highly effective in Buchwald–Hartwig aminations, C–O and C–C couplings of aryl halides.
• Hindered substrate chemistry: the bulky dicyclohexylphosphino groups assist coupling of sterically demanding partners.
• Process development: a defined, air-stable precatalyst that simplifies charge calculations during scale-up.
• Pharmaceutical synthesis: applied in the preparation of complex intermediates and advanced active ingredients.
