Description

Dimethylammoniumdichlorotri(Mu-Chloro)Bis[(S)-(-)-5,5'-Bis(Diphenylphosphino)-4,4'-Bi-1,3-Benzodioxole]Diruthenate(II) is a sophisticated chiral ruthenium complex designed for high-performance asymmetric catalysis. This compound matters because it serves as a highly selective and efficient catalyst, enabling the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds critical for advanced pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for developing novel synthetic routes and scaling up production of chiral intermediates.

Application

• Asymmetric Hydrogenation: A premier catalyst for the enantioselective reduction of prochiral olefins, ketones, and imines to produce chiral alcohols and amines.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Enables the production of key chiral building blocks for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including β-amino acids and lactams.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Used in the synthesis of high-value, optically pure flavors, fragrances, and agrochemicals.
• Methodology Development: A valuable tool for academic and industrial research in developing new catalytic asymmetric transformations.
• Process Chemistry Optimization: Employed to improve the yield, selectivity, and sustainability of existing catalytic processes on pilot and production scales.

Quality Control

Every batch of our chiral ruthenium catalyst is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure exceptional purity and catalytic performance. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as metal content, chiral purity (enantiomeric excess of ligand), and trace impurity profiles. Our quality systems support development under cGMP guidelines for pharmaceutical applications, ensuring reliability and consistency for your most critical asymmetric synthesis projects.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive), this material must be stored under an inert gas (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
