Palladium catalysis

Palladium catalysis is a chemical process that uses palladium, a precious metal, to speed up reactions without being consumed in the process. This technique is especially important in organic chemistry for creating complex molecules, such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It allows for the efficient formation of carbon-carbon bonds, which are essential for building larger, intricate structures. The use of palladium makes these reactions more efficient, reducing waste and energy usage, ultimately contributing to more sustainable chemical manufacturing methods.
