Asymmetric Hydrogenation
Catalyst for the stereoselective synthesis of delta-amino acid derivatives via asymmetric hydrogenation of acetylaminopentenoic acid derivatives. It is also employed in the stereoselective synthesis of manzacidins A and C.
Chiral Molecule Synthesis
Facilitates the asymmetric preparation of chiral Cbz-aminodifluorobutyric acid methyl ester and its analogues. Enables the synthesis of the tetracyclic core of manzamine A.
Biphasic Hydrogenation
Utilised in biphasic catalytic hydrogenations within ionic liquids, with water serving as a co-solvent. This method offers advantages for catalyst separation and recycling.
