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
