Application

Pentamethylcyclopentadienylrhodium(III) chloride dimer can be used as a catalyst for:
  • The synthesis of multiaryl substituted naphthols via dual C-H bond functionalization of 2-aryloxypyridines.
  • Regioselective C-N bond formation of azo compounds, wherein azide acts as a nitrogen source.
  • Annulation of N-benzoylsulfonamide with isocyanide via C-H bond activation.

Umicore Precatalysts for Asymmetric and Cross-Coupling Catalysis

Catalyst for:
  • Oxidative olefination reactions
  • C-C bond cleavage of secondary alcohols
  • Ortho C-H olefination of phenol derivatives
  • Oxidative annulation of pyridines
  • Oxidative ortho-acylation of benzamides with aldehydes via direct functionalization of the sp2 C-H bond
  • Amidation reactions
  • Reductive alkylation reactions
