Description

[Rh Cod Dipfc]Bf4, Rh 14.4% CAS NO 255064-36-9 is a high-purity organorhodium complex, specifically a cationic rhodium(I) species stabilized by the 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) and a diphenylphosphinoferrocene (Dipfc) ligand, with a tetrafluoroborate counterion. This compound is a highly valuable and versatile catalyst precursor for a wide range of asymmetric and homogeneous hydrogenation reactions. It is essential for R&D and production chemists in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and advanced materials sectors who require precise stereochemical control and high catalytic efficiency.

Application

• Asymmetric Hydrogenation Catalyst: A key precursor for the enantioselective reduction of prochiral olefins, ketones, and imines in the synthesis of chiral pharmaceutical intermediates and agrochemicals.
• Homogeneous Catalysis Research: Used in academic and industrial R&D for developing new catalytic processes and studying reaction mechanisms.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed in the production of complex, high-value organic molecules where traditional catalysts lack selectivity or activity.
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Critical for creating single-enantiomer active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where chirality is crucial for drug efficacy and safety.
• Specialty Polymer Production: Can be utilized in catalytic systems for the synthesis of specialized polymers with unique properties.

Quality Control

Every batch of [Rh Cod Dipfc]Bf4 is manufactured and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistent high purity and catalytic performance. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including advanced spectroscopic and chromatographic methods, to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing Rhodium content, purity, and impurity profiles 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 a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air and moisture must be avoided to maintain stability and catalytic activity.
