In homogeneous catalysis, the catalyst is in the same phase as the reactant. The number of collisions between reactants and catalyst is at a maximum.In a patent, 32005-36-0, name is Bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium, introducing its new discovery.

A mechanism, which is distinct from the traditional one when sodium alkoxide was used instead of tertiary amines, was proposed for the alkoxycarbonylation of aryl iodides. The catalytic cycle was composed of oxidative addition, subsequent ArPdOR formation, CO insertion to Pd-OR, and final reductive elimination of ArPdCOOR. The kinetic simultaneity of the formation of deiodinated side product from the aryl iodide and aldehyde from corresponding alcohol provided strong evidence for the existence of ArPdOR species. The observation of thioether, as the other competitive product in palladium catalyzed thiocarbonylation of aryl iodides and sodium alkylthiolate, also indicate the possibility of metathesis between ArPdl and sodium alkylthiolate. Preliminary kinetic studies revealed that neither oxidative addition nor reductive elimination was rate limiting. DFT calculation displayed preference for CO insertion into Pd-OR bond. The advantage of this novel mechanism had been demonstrated in the facile alkoxycarbonylation and thiocarbonylation. The ethoxycarbonylation of aryl iodides under room temperature and balloon pressure of CO in the presence of EtONa were examined, and good to high yields were obtained; the t-butoxycarbonylation reactions in the presence of t-BuONa were achieved, and the alkylthiocarbonylation (including the t-butylthiocarbonylation) of aryl iodides in the presence of sodium alkylthiolate were also investigated.
We’ll also look at important developments in the pharmaceutical industry because understanding organic chemistry is important in understanding health, medicine, the role of 32005-36-0, and how the biochemistry of the body works.Quality Control of Bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium
