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.
