Lindlar's catalyst is a finely divided palladium metal deposited on calcium carbonate that is poisoned with lead acetate. It is primarily used for hydrogenation reactions, specifically for selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes under mild conditions. The lead poisoning of the catalyst helps to control its activity, allowing for the desired level of hydrogenation.
