Product Information

• Name: Palladium (II) acetate monomer
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Palladium acetate monomer (Pd(OAc)2) is a palladium compound that is used as an oxidation catalyst in organic synthesis. Palladium acetate monomer has been shown to catalyze the conversion of trifluoroacetic acid to cyclohexene oxide with a high degree of selectivity. It also forms stable complexes with nitrogen atoms, such as ammonia and amines. The stability of these complexes can be increased by adding sodium carbonate or plasma mass spectrometry. Palladium acetate monomer is also used to convert HIV-1 reverse transcriptase into a non-infectious form that cannot replicate the virus. Palladium acetate monomer binds to the Mcl-1 protein and activates caspase 3, which leads to cell death.
