Description

Bis(Trifluoromethanesulfonyl)Imide(2-Dicyclohexylphosphino-2',6'-Dimethoxy-1,1'-Biphenyl)Gold(I), 98% is a high-purity, organometallic catalyst complex featuring a gold(I) center coordinated by a SPhos-type phosphine ligand and a weakly coordinating bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion. This compound matters for its exceptional utility as a highly active and selective catalyst in cross-coupling and C-H activation reactions, enabling efficient synthesis of complex organic molecules. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for developing novel synthetic routes and scaling up production.

Application

• Gold-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions: A key catalyst for Sonogashira, Suzuki-Miyaura, and Buchwald-Hartwig amination reactions under mild conditions.
• C-H Bond Functionalization: Enables direct arylation and alkylation of arenes and heteroarenes, streamlining synthetic sequences.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Critical for constructing complex, drug-like scaffolds in API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) development.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the synthesis of novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Materials Science: Facilitates the synthesis of conjugated polymers and organic electronic materials via efficient coupling steps.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for methodology development and exploring new reaction pathways in organic synthesis.

Quality Control

Our 98% grade product undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability for catalytic applications. Each lot is supplied with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and key impurity profiles. We adhere to strict in-house standards to meet the demanding requirements of process chemistry and fine chemical synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive and should be handled under an inert atmosphere when possible to maintain optimal catalytic activity. Keep container tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption.
