A schematic of a generic Pd-PEPPSI type precatalyst. R1, R2, and R3 represent carbon or heteroatom substituents.

PEPPSI is an abbreviation for pyridine-enhanced precatalyst preparation stabilization and initiation. It refers to a family of commercially available[1][2][3] palladium catalysts developed around 2005 by Prof. Michael G. Organ and co-workers at York University,[4][5] which can accelerate various carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom[6] bond forming cross-coupling reactions. In comparison to many alternative palladium catalysts, Pd-PEPPSI-type complexes are stable to air and moisture and are relatively easy to synthesize and handle.
