(S)-SEGPHOS is a chiral diphosphine ligand developed by Takasago, characterized by its narrow bite angle due to the bi-1,3-benzodioxole backbone. It delivers superior enantioselectivity in ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogenation of carbonyl and olefin substrates.

Applications

  • Asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones (Ru-SEGPHOS)
  • Enantioselective hydrogenation of β-keto esters
  • Asymmetric Heck reactions (Pd)
  • Pharmaceutical synthesis of chiral alcohols
