Not to be confused with Pepsi.
PEPPSI is an abbreviation for pyridine-enhanced precatalyst preparation stabilization and initiation. It refers to a group of chemical catalysts developed around 2005 by Prof. Michael G. Organ and co-workers at York University,[1][2] which can accelerate various aminations and cross-coupling reactions. In comparison to many alternative palladium catalysts, PEPPSI catalysts are stable to air and moisture and are relatively easy to synthesize and handle.

Structure and synthesis
In the basic structure of PEPPSI, R is usually a methyl (CH3, Me), ethyl (C2H5, Et), isopropyl (C3H7, iPr) or isopentyl (C5H11, iPent) group, and the resulting catalysts are thus labeled as PEPPSI-IMes, PEPPSI-IEt, PEPPSI-IPr, and PEPPSI-IPent, respectively, with or without "Pd-" added in front.[3] Contrary to common palladium-based catalysts, such as tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0), PEPPSI is stable to exposure to air[4] and moisture.[5] Even heating in dimethyl sulfoxide at 120 °C for hours does not result in significant decomposition or neutralization of PEPPSI catalysts.[6]
The synthesis and structure of PEPPSI catalysts were presented in 2005[6][7] and published in 2006.[8][9] PEPPSI catalysts are based on an organometallic complex palladium N-heterocyclic-carbene (NHC). They can be obtained by reacting imidazolium salt, palladium(II) chloride, and potassium carbonate in a 3-chloropyridine solvent, under vigorous stirring at 80 °C for 16 hours in air. The yield of PEPPSI in this reaction is 97–98%.[9][6]
Properties and applications
PEPPSI can catalyze various aminations and cross-coupling reactions including Negishi coupling,[4] Suzuki coupling, Kumada coupling,[10] Buchwald–Hartwig amination and Heck reaction.[11][6] In Negishi coupling, it promotes reaction of alkyl halides, aryl halides or alkyl sulfonates with alkylzinc halides,[12] and the important advantage of PEPPSI over alternative catalysts is that the reaction can be carried out in a general chemical laboratory, without a glove box. PEPPSI contains palladium in Pd(II) form and thus is a "precatalyst", that is palladium in it should be reduced to the active Pd(0) form. This is usually achieved automatically in the reaction being activated. Once activated, PEPPSI becomes rather sensitive to air and moisture.[4][13][14]
