Abstract

Palladium nanoparticles supported over poly (vinyl) chloride matrix (PVC-Pd0) are prepared through an efficient and inexpensive protocol. The catalyst has been characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM and its utility for the reduction of a range of functional groups as well as for the removal of some common protecting groups employed in peptide chemistry is demonstrated.
