Description

((4R,5R)-(+)-O-[1-Benzyl-1-(5-methyl-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazol-4-yl)-2-phenylethyl](dicyclohexylphosphinite)(1,5-COD)iridium(I)tetrakis(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)borate is a high-purity, chiral iridium-based organometallic complex designed for advanced catalytic applications. This compound is a highly selective and efficient catalyst, particularly valued in asymmetric synthesis for constructing complex chiral molecules with high enantiomeric excess. It is essential for R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries who require reliable and sophisticated catalysts for challenging transformations.

Application

• Asymmetric Hydrogenation: A key catalyst for the enantioselective reduction of prochiral olefins, imines, and ketones in pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis.
• Chiral Ligand Screening: Serves as a precursor or benchmark catalyst in the development and evaluation of new chiral phosphinite ligands.
• Process Chemistry Development: Used in the scale-up and optimization of catalytic routes for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other high-value compounds.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A critical tool for methodological studies in organometallic chemistry and the discovery of new asymmetric reactions.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Enables the production of enantiomerically pure flavors, fragrances, and advanced materials.

Quality Control

Our high-purity organometallic catalysts are manufactured and handled under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis, to verify identity, purity, and the absence of critical metallic impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C to maintain stability and prevent decomposition. This material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air, moisture, or ambient light should be avoided.
