Description

[Rh Cod (R)-Binap]Bf4, Rh 11.2% CAS NO 120521-81-5 is a high-purity, organometallic catalyst complex featuring a rhodium center coordinated by the chiral (R)-BINAP ligand and 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD). This compound is a critical reagent for enabling highly enantioselective transformations in fine chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis. It is essential for research and production chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require precise stereochemical control in hydrogenation and other catalytic processes.

Application

• Asymmetric Hydrogenation Catalyst: For the enantioselective reduction of prochiral olefins, ketones, and imines in pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis.
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring high enantiomeric purity, such as chiral amines and amino acid derivatives.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Creation of enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Fine Chemical Production: Synthesis of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances where stereochemistry impacts product performance.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A benchmark catalyst for developing new asymmetric synthetic methodologies and process optimization.
• Material Science: Potential use in the synthesis of chiral polymers or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with specific optical properties.

Quality Control

Every batch of our [Rh Cod (R)-Binap]Bf4 catalyst is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems. We ensure high chemical purity and catalytic activity through comprehensive analytical methods, including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis for rhodium content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and chiral integrity are provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and performance for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C in a cool, dry place. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, moisture, or elevated temperatures will degrade its catalytic activity.
