Product Information

• Name: Palladium(II) propionate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Palladium(II) propionate is a coordination complex that is used in organic synthesis as an efficient method of converting olefinic substrates to the corresponding acetylenic compounds. Palladium(II) propionate reacts with ethyl groups in a bidentate ligand, which results in the formation of a palladium-ethyl complex, followed by elimination of propionic acid. This reaction is specific for olefinic substrates and does not react with other types of substrates such as alkynes or alkenes. The palladium-ethyl complex undergoes hydrolysis to release ethyl alcohol, which is then oxidized to form the desired product. Palladium(II) propionate has been found to be an effective anti-viral agent against HIV, HSV-1, and HSV-2. This compound also has an inhibitory effect on human papillomavirus (HPV), which may be due to its ability to bind
