Asymetric Electrophilic Fluorination Using An Anionic Chiral Phasee-Transfer Catalyst

Patent Status

Brief Description

The invention is a novel family of chiral catalysts for electrophilic addition reactions especially for fluorination.  The catalysts are salts including a chiral anionic component a a cationic component.  They are chiral, non-racemic compounds that function as phase transfer catalysts in certain asymmetric synthetic organic transformations.

Suggested uses

The ability to selectively transform a prochiral center in a compound to an enantiomerically enriched or enantiomerically pure chiral center has broad application, especially in the agricultural, pharmaceutical and polymer industries.

Advantages

Transform a prochiral center in a compound to an enamtiomerically enriched or enantiomerically pure chiral center.
