Description

N,N'-Bis(2,6-Bis(Diphenylmethyl)-4-Methoxyphenyl)Imidazol-2-Ylidene, Min. 98% Ipr*Ome CAS NO 1416368-06-3 is a high-purity, sterically hindered N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand precursor, a critical component in modern organometallic catalysis. Its value lies in enabling highly efficient and selective transition metal-catalyzed reactions, which are essential for constructing complex molecules in research and industrial synthesis. This advanced ligand is primarily needed by researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for developing new synthetic routes and optimizing existing processes.

Application

• Cross-Coupling Catalysis: As a ligand for palladium, nickel, or copper catalysts in key reactions like Suzuki-Miyaura, Buchwald-Hartwig amination, and Negishi couplings for C-C and C-N bond formation.
• Olefin Metathesis: Serving as a precursor for ruthenium-based Grubbs-type catalysts used in ring-closing metathesis (RCM), cross-metathesis (CM), and polymer synthesis.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Facilitating the construction of complex, chiral drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) under mild conditions.
• Agrochemical Research: Enabling the synthesis of novel, high-performance herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides with improved selectivity.
• Material Science & Polymer Chemistry: Used in the catalytic synthesis of specialty polymers, functional materials, and dendrimers.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A vital tool for methodological development in organic synthesis and catalysis research.

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 compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) for long-term storage and when dispensing to prevent degradation. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.
