General description

[1,4-Bis(diphenylphosphino)butane](1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium(I) tetrafluoroborate is a rhodium-based catalyst used for regioselective hydrogenation and enantioselective reductive amination reactions.

Application

[1,4-Bis(diphenylphosphino)butane](1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium(I)tetrafluoroborate can be used as a catalyst for the:
  • Regioselective hydrogenation of thebaine to synthesize tetrahydrothebaine.
  • Enantioselective reductive amination of α-ketoacids with benzylamines to synthesize α-N-benzylamino acids.
  • Stereoselective hydrogenation of α-(hydroxymethyl)-acrylate derivatives to synthesize 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoates.

The addition of Lewis acids such as trispentafluoroboron as cocatalysts has been found to have a dramatic effect on the Rh-catalyzed hydroboration of olefins with pinacol borane. For example, aliphatic olefins do not react at all in noncoordinating solvents, but

Low-field benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance (BT-NMR) spectrometers with Halbach magnets are being increasingly used in science and industry as cost-efficient tools for the monitoring of chemical reactions, including hydrogenation. However, their use of low-field magnets limits both resolution and sensitivity.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
