Description

1,3-Bis(2,6-Di-I-Propylphenyl)Imidazol-2-Ylidenegold(I) Hydroxide, Min. 97% is a high-purity, organometallic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) gold(I) complex. This compound matters as a highly effective and selective catalyst for a variety of organic transformations, particularly in the synthesis of complex pharmaceutical intermediates and advanced materials. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for developing new synthetic routes and scaling up production.

Application

• Catalyst for Organic Synthesis: A key catalyst for hydroamination, hydroarylation, and cyclization reactions, enabling efficient C–C and C–heteroatom bond formation.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Manufacturing: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for complex, gold-catalyzed cascade reactions.
• Materials Science Research: Employed in the development of novel organometallic frameworks, polymers, and nanomaterials with tailored properties.
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Serves as a precursor for chiral gold complexes used in enantioselective synthesis for producing optically pure compounds.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological development in catalysis and exploring new reaction mechanisms.
• Fine Chemical Production: Facilitates the synthesis of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring high selectivity.

Quality Control

Our 1,3-Bis(2,6-Di-I-Propylphenyl)Imidazol-2-Ylidenegold(I) Hydroxide is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic performance. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C to maintain stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; ensure the container is sealed immediately after use and stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
