(S,S)-(-)-Hydrobenzoin

Ref. 3D-CAA32510

Product Information

• Name: (S,S)-(-)-Hydrobenzoin
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: (S,S)-(-)-Hydrobenzoin is a chiral molecule that can be used to catalyze the desymmetrization of aldehydes. It is an enantiopure and pentafluorophenyl derivative of hydrobenzoin that binds to bidentate ligands. (S,S)-(-)-Hydrobenzoin has been shown to catalyze the asymmetric synthesis of various chiral molecules, including amines and alcohols. This reaction is stereoselective, scalable, and can be performed in aqueous media. The process uses light irradiation as a catalyst and does not require expensive or toxic reagents.
