(S)-2-(2,3-Bis(dicyclohexylamino)cyclopropenimine)-3-phenylpropan-1-ol hydrochloride

Application

The purpose of (S)-2-(2,3-Bis(dicyclohexylamino)cyclopropenimine)-3-phenylpropan-1-ol hydrochloride is to serve as an innovative enantioselective Brønsted base catalyst, belonging to a new category of "superbases" for organocatalysis. Designed for efficiency in facilitating proton transfer reactions, it enables the production of optically enriched products, which are crucial in organic synthetic chemistry. This catalyst is stored as a co-salt to ensure stability, and its conversion to the active form involves a straightforward wash with aqueous base. Developed by Tristan Lambert and his team, this catalyst is available through Sigma-Aldrich and exemplifies our commitment to offering Greener Alternative Products, aligning with the principles of Green Chemistry to enhance catalytic efficiency.
