Description

(Alpha R, Alpha''R'')-2,2''-Bis(A-N,n-Dimethylaminobenzyl)-(S,S)-1,1''-Bis-(Diphenylphosphino)-Ferrocene-(1,5-Cyclooctadiene)-Rhodium(I)]-Tetrafluoroborate is a highly specialized, chiral organometallic complex designed for asymmetric catalysis. This compound matters because it serves as a precise and efficient catalyst for enantioselective hydrogenation and other critical C-C bond-forming reactions. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries who require high enantiomeric purity in their synthetic intermediates and active ingredients.

Application

• Asymmetric Hydrogenation Catalyst: For the enantioselective reduction of prochiral olefins, ketones, and imines in pharmaceutical API synthesis.
• Chiral Ligand Precursor: The ferrocenyl diphosphine framework can be utilized to develop other custom chiral catalysts.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Enabling the production of enantiomerically pure flavors, fragrances, and advanced materials.
• Academic & Process R&D: For method development and scaling up novel asymmetric transformations in research laboratories.
• Agrochemical Intermediate Production: Synthesis of chiral herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.

Quality Control

Every batch of this high-value catalyst is produced and tested under strict quality protocols to ensure consistent performance and purity. Our quality system is designed to meet the exacting standards of GMP and ISO-guided environments. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, chiral purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your regulatory and R&D documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C. This compound is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air, moisture, or ambient light will degrade catalytic activity. Handle and open containers only in a controlled, dry environment.
