Description

Dichloro[(R)-(+)-2,2'-Bis(Diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-Binaphthyl]Ruthenium (II) is a high-value, chiral ruthenium complex that serves as a highly efficient catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation and other enantioselective transformations. Its importance lies in enabling the production of single-enantiomer intermediates with high optical purity, which is critical for the efficacy and safety of many pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. This product is essential for R&D and production chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require reliable, high-performance catalysts for complex synthetic routes.

Application

• Asymmetric Hydrogenation Catalyst: For the enantioselective reduction of prochiral olefins, ketones, and imines to produce chiral alcohols and amines.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Key for manufacturing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring high enantiomeric excess, such as certain antibiotics, antivirals, and cardiovascular drugs.
• Agrochemical Production: Used in the synthesis of chiral herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Fine Chemical and Fragrance Manufacturing: Enables the production of enantiomerically pure flavors, fragrances, and specialty chemicals.
• Academic and Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for methodology development in organic synthesis and catalysis research.
• Material Science: Potential applications in the development of chiral polymers and advanced functional materials.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic performance. Each lot is characterized to confirm identity, purity, and chiral integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided, detailing key parameters such as assay, enantiomeric purity of the ligand, and residual solvent content. We adhere to strict internal quality standards suitable for R&D and industrial-scale 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 moisture-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air or moisture will degrade its catalytic activity.
