Application
The purpose of [(S)-(-)-5,5'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4'-bi-1,3-benzodioxole][4-cyano-3-nitrobenzenecarboxylato][1,2,3-η-2-propenyl]iridium(III), min. 97%, is to serve as a highly specialized catalyst for various diastereo- and enantioselective carbonyl transformations. It facilitates (trimethylsilyl)allylation, (hydroxy)allylation, and (hydroxymethyl)allylation from alcohol and aldehyde oxidation levels, contributing to the synthesis of complex molecules like anti-1,2-diols. Additionally, this catalyst enables carbonyl tert-prenylation and crotylation processes, such as carbonyl double crotylation of 1,3-diols, enhancing the precision and efficiency of chemical reactions in synthetic chemistry.
