Generally, the reactivity of organopalladium complexes is lower compared with organonickel complexes. However, they have higher chemical stability for oxidations and this makes them easy to use. Therefore, palladium complexes are most commonly used for cross-coupling reactions

Palladium acetate is a catalyst for many organic reactions, especially alkenes, dienes, and alkyl, aryl, and vinyl halides to form reactive adducts. ... Carbonylation reactions: for example, the formation of esters from aryl iodides, carbon monoxide, an alcohol or phenol.
