Description

(R)Schrock-Hoveyda Catalyst CAS NO 329735-77-5 is a highly active, enantiomerically pure molybdenum-based complex designed for asymmetric olefin metathesis reactions. This catalyst is critical for achieving high stereoselectivity and yield in the synthesis of complex chiral molecules, which are foundational to modern pharmaceutical and advanced material development. It is an essential tool for R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to construct challenging carbon-carbon double bonds with precise spatial control.

Application

• Asymmetric Ring-Closing Metathesis (ARCM): For the enantioselective synthesis of small, strained carbocycles and heterocycles prevalent in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Asymmetric Cross Metathesis (ACM): Enables the stereocontrolled coupling of two different olefinic partners to build complex chiral intermediates.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Key for constructing chiral scaffolds in drug discovery and development programs for oncology, CNS, and metabolic diseases.
• Agrochemical Active Ingredient Production: Used in the creation of enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Fine Chemical and Fragrance Manufacturing: Applicable for producing high-value chiral flavor and fragrance compounds.
• Academic and Industrial R&D: A benchmark catalyst for methodology development in organic synthesis and catalysis research.
• Material Science Research: Exploration of chiral polymers and advanced functional materials via stereoselective polymerization.

Quality Control

Our (R)Schrock-Hoveyda Catalyst is manufactured under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high enantiomeric purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis, to verify identity, purity, and chiral integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at -20°C or below in a freezer dedicated for air-sensitive materials. Due to its highly moisture-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, the container should only be opened in a controlled, dry, and oxygen-free environment.
