Chemical Properties

white to light yellow crystal powder

Uses

(1S,2S)-(-)-1,2-Diphenyl-1,2-ethanediamine solvation agent, For synthesis of enantiopure ethylenediamines by chirality transfer (condensation with diketones followed by reductive cleavage), Co-catalyst in the Ru catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of aromatic ketones, Versatile ligand for the formation of metal complexes.1 Used in the synthesis of chiral tropocoronands which have potential utility in asymmetric catalysis

General Description

1,2-Diphenylethylenediamine is a chiral molecule, generally used as a chiral resolving agent and as a precursor of the chiral auxiliary. It is also used as a chiral solvating agent in NMR study.
