Description

1,3-Bis(2,6-Di-I-Propylphenyl)Imidazol-2-Ylidene(Acetonitrile)Gold(I) Tetrafluoroborate, 95% is a high-purity, well-defined N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) gold(I) complex, a critical class of organometallic catalysts. This compound matters for its exceptional stability and catalytic efficiency in facilitating a wide range of organic transformations, particularly in the synthesis of complex pharmaceutical intermediates and advanced materials. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for applications requiring robust and selective gold-catalyzed reactions.

Application

• Catalyst for C-H Functionalization: Enables selective activation and functionalization of C-H bonds under mild conditions.
• Alkyne Activation and Cyclization: Key catalyst for the synthesis of heterocycles and carbocycles via gold-catalyzed cycloisomerization and hydroarylation reactions.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Used in the development and scale-up of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for complex molecular architectures.
• Cross-Coupling Reactions: Facilitates gold-mediated cross-coupling processes for carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation.
• Materials Science Research: Employed in the development of novel organometallic frameworks and catalytic materials.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for chiral gold complexes used in enantioselective catalysis.
• Academic and Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological development in organic and organometallic chemistry.

Quality Control

Our 1,3-Bis(2,6-Di-I-Propylphenyl)Imidazol-2-Ylidene(Acetonitrile)Gold(I) Tetrafluoroborate is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic performance. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR (1H, 13C, 19F), HPLC for purity assessment, and elemental analysis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity (≥95%), and relevant specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as indicated on the label. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to maintain stability and prevent decomposition.
