General description

N-Benzylcinchonidinium bromide is a chiral phase-transfer catalyst (PTC).

Application

N-Benzylcinchonidinium bromide (BCDBr) can be used:
  • To prepare various 4-(bromomethyl)benzenesulfonamides, which are employed as catalysts for asymmetric benzylation reactions.
  • As a phase transfer catalyst in the synthesis of organogelators via Michael addition reaction.
  • To catalyze the enantioselective alkylation of tert-butyl glycinate-benzophenone Schiff base furnishing the corresponding chiral α-amino acid.
  • To resolve symmetric biaryldiols via formation of inclusion complex with diols.
