Catalyst Immobilization Agent

Immobilization of homogeneous symmetric and asymmetric hydrogenation catalysts is made quick and easy with BASF’s second generation catalyst immobilization technology. Precious metal precursors, such as Rh(COD)2BF4, are immobilized for ease of filtration from reaction mixtures. BASF catalyst immobilization agent can also be reused – improving cost effectiveness.

Through a simple ligand exchange reaction, an immobilized precursor such as Rh(COD)2BF4 -- provides users with the ability to screen a wide assortment of ligands in an immobilized state. The precursor Rh(COD)2BF4, when modified with (S)-BINAP, (R,R)-MeDuPHOS, (R,R)-DiPAMP or (S)-DIOP, has been applied successfully in chiral hydrogenation reactions.

BASF supplies a wide variety of immobilized homogeneous precursors for enantioselective reactions. We have assembled a team dedicated to responding to the needs of the pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals industry. Our network of technical professionals would welcome the opportunity to discuss customized solutions for your specific application.
