Parts-Per-Million of Soluble Pd0 Catalyze the Semi-Hydrogenation Reaction of Alkynes to Alkenes

The synthesis of cis-alkenes is industrially carried out by selective semi-hydrogenation of alkynes with complex Pd catalysts, which include the Lindlar catalyst (PdPb on CaCO3) and c-Pd/TiS (colloidal ligand-protected Pd nanoparticles), among others. Here, we show that Pd0 atoms are generated from...

Sumario:The synthesis of cis-alkenes is industrially carried out by selective semi-hydrogenation of alkynes with complex Pd catalysts, which include the Lindlar catalyst (PdPb on CaCO3) and c-Pd/TiS (colloidal ligand-protected Pd nanoparticles), among others. Here, we show that Pd0 atoms are generated from primary Pd salts (PdCl2, PdSO4, Pd(OH)2, PdO) with H2 in alcohol solutions, independently of the alkyne, to catalyze the semi-hydrogenation reaction with extraordinarily high efficiency (up to 735 s–1), yield (up to 99%), and selectivity (up to 99%). The easy-to-prepare Pd0 species hold other potential catalytic applications.
