High Purity Homogeneous Catalysts

Advanced catalysis technology enabling batch-to-batch consistency
BASF high purity homogeneous palladium acetate (Pd-acetate) catalyst is an ultra-pure version of a trimeric palladium acetate complex. The product purity of this non-halide containing material is in excess of 99%, as confirmed by both solution 1H and 13C NMR and elemental analyses. Scanning Electron Microscopy indicates high product purity when compared to conventional product.

This technology was specifically designed for use in fine chemical applications that require consistent batch-to-batch reproducibility. Another benefit is the obtained decreased impurity level due to less by-product formation. Reactions also demonstrated increased process throughput and, in some cases, increased primary product yield.

Typical applications
Palladium acetate serves as a precursor for the synthesis of (in situ) homogeneous palladium catalysts. It is also used as a catalyst, by itself, in a variety of catalytic applications including carbonylation, oxidation and a variety of coupling reactions such as Heck, Suzuki, Sonogashira or Buchwald-Hartwig.
