Application of Palladium Hydroxide on Activated Charcoal
The palladium hydroxide catalyst is characterized by high hydrogenation and reduction efficiency, excellent selectivity, and stable performance. It requires a low catalyst-to-substrate ratio during use, offers good reusability, and can be easily recovered. This catalyst is widely applied in hydrogenation, selective hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, oxidation, hydrogenolysis, dehalogenation, carbonylation, decarbonylation, telomerization, olefin isomerization, and hydrogenation purification processes.

Supported palladium hydroxide-catalyzed intramolecular double C
H bond functionalization for synthesis of carbazoles and dibenzofurans
Abstract: Metal oxide-supported palladium hydroxide (Pd(OH)2/MOx) catalysts enabled the oxidative intramolecular couplings of diarylamines to carbazoles and diarylethers to dibenzofurans via double aryl Csingle bondH bond functionalizations with molecular oxygen as the sole oxidant. While supported PdO, Pd, and palladium acetate catalysts showed poor catalytic activities, supported Pd(OH)2 exhibited remarkably high catalytic activity. Among supported Pd(OH)2 catalysts, Pd(OH)2/ZrO2 was found to be an efficient catalyst in terms of catalytic activities and selectivities for the synthesis of carbazoles and dibenzofurans.
