Description

Dichloro{(1R,2R)-N,n-Bis[2-(Diphenylphosphino)Benzyl]Cyclohexane-1,2-Diamine}Ruthenium(II), Min. 97% is a high-purity, chiral ruthenium complex featuring a sophisticated P,N,N,P tetradentate ligand system. This compound is a highly valuable and selective catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation and other transition metal-catalyzed organic transformations. It is essential for R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and agrochemical industries who require precise stereocontrol in the synthesis of chiral intermediates and active ingredients.

Application

• Asymmetric Hydrogenation Catalyst: For the enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones, imines, and olefins to produce chiral alcohols, amines, and other building blocks.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Enables the efficient and stereoselective construction of complex molecules for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Fine Chemical Production: Used in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances where high enantiomeric purity is critical.
• Methodology Development: A key reagent in academic and industrial research for developing new catalytic asymmetric reactions.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: For the production of chiral herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides with improved efficacy and environmental profiles.
• Transfer Hydrogenation: Can be employed in reactions using alternative hydrogen donors like isopropanol or formic acid.
