Herrmann's catalyst is an organopalladium compound that is a popular catalyst for the Heck reaction. It is a yellow air-stable solid that is soluble in organic solvents. Under conditions for catalysis, the acetate group is lost and the Pd-C bond undergoes protonolysis, giving rise to a source of "PdP(o-tol)
3".
The complex is made by reaction of tris(o-tolyl)phosphine with palladium(II) acetate:[1]
- [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} & \ce{2 Pd(OAc)2 + 2 P(C6H4-2-CH3)3 -\gt } \\ & \ce{2 HOAc + Pd2(OAc)2[P(C6H4-2-CH2)(C6H4-2-CH3)2]2} \end{align} }[/math]
Many analogues of Hermann's catalyst have been developed, e.g. palladacycles obtained from 2-aminobiphenyl.[2]
