Palladium on Carbon (Pd/C) 10%

Palladium on carbon, often referred to as Pd/C, is a form of palladium used as a catalyst.The metal is supported on activated carbon in order to maximize its surface area and activity.Palladium on carbon is used for catalytic hydrogenations in organic synthesis. Examples include reductive amination,carbonyl reduction, nitro compound reduction, the reduction of imines and Schiff bases and debenzylation reactions.Palladium on carbon is also used for coupling reactions. Examples include the Suzuki reaction and Stille reaction.
