Tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) or d2(dba)3is an organopalladium compound. The compound is a complex of
First reported in 1970, it is prepared from dibenzylideneacetone and sodium tetrachloropalladate. Because it is commonly recrystallized from chloroform, the complex is often supplied as the adduct d2(dba)3·CHCl3Jiro Tsuji and Ian J. S.

Applications
d2(dba)3is used as a source of soluble Pd(0), in particular as acatalyst
Catalysis () is the process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst (). Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and remain unchanged after it. If the reaction is rapid and the catalyst recy ...
for various coupling reactions. Examples of reactions using this reagent are the Negishi coupling, Suzuki coupling
The Suzuki reaction is an organic reaction, classified as a cross-coupling reaction, where the coupling partners are a boronic acid and an organohalide and the catalyst is a palladium(0) complex. It was first published in 1979 by Akira Suzuki, ...
