A new class of heterogeneous Pd catalysts for synthetic organic chemistry

A new series of leach-proof nanostructured Pd(0) catalysts able to catalyze a number of fundamental organic transformations including C\u2013C bond formation has been developed. Reactions in general proceed with high yield and often at completion, while the catalysts can be reused in further reaction runs. This establishes a new class of relevant solid catalysts for synthetic organic chemistry trademarked SiliaCat Pd0 Hydrogel
