Application

Dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)palladium(II) is a commonly used catalyst to protect alcohols as acetals by treating with 2-benzyloxy-1-propene; to synthesize bicyclooctanes from diethyl malonate and in alkene carbonylation. It can also be used to catalyze the Heck coupling of nonactivated vinyl phosphates with electron deficient alkenes; the synthesis of benzo[b]thiophenes from thioenols and to prepare an active catalyst for Mizoroki-Heck and Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.
Catalyst for C-C bond and C-N formation, used in Heck coupling of alkynes with alkenes , Suzuki cross-coupling of aryl bromides , allylic substitution of oximes with allylic acetate , and methoxycarbonylation of iodobenzene.
