Application
The purpose of Mattson Difluoroborate Urea is to provide a highly efficient and user-friendly catalyst that significantly enhances chemical reactions. This white solid, which can be conveniently stored on the benchtop indefinitely, incorporates a difluoroboryl substituent, making it the most acidic urea catalyst known, with a pKa of 7.5 in DMSO. This unique structure not only boosts reaction rates and yields compared to traditional urea catalysts but also enables chemical reactions that are otherwise impossible with conventional urea catalysis, offering unprecedented catalytic efficiency.
