General description

N-Benzylcinchonidinium bromide is a chiral phase-transfer catalyst (PTC).

Application

N-Benzylcinchonidinium bromide (BCDBr) can be used:
  • To prepare various 4-(bromomethyl)benzenesulfonamides, which are employed as catalysts for asymmetric benzylation reactions.
  • As a phase transfer catalyst in the synthesis of organogelators via Michael addition reaction.
  • To catalyze the enantioselective alkylation of tert-butyl glycinate-benzophenone Schiff base furnishing the corresponding chiral α-amino acid.
  • To resolve symmetric biaryldiols via formation of inclusion complex with diols.

Maruoka Catalysts

Maruoka catalysts enable enantioselective preparation of α-amino acids from glycine derivatives via asymmetric phase transfer catalysis.

Cinchona Alkaloids

Asymmetric phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) has been recognized as a “green” alternative to many homogeneous synthetic organic transformations, and has found widespread application. Synthetically modified cinchona alkaloids are typical chiral organocatalysts used in asymmetric PTC.

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