Racemic mixtures in pharmaceutical synthesis lead to low yields of bioactive enantiomers and increased purification costs. These catalysts control the stereochemical outcome of dihydroquinoline hydrogenation to ensure high optical purity.
Direct conversion of polyfluoroalkyl alcohols to amines and selective halogenated aniline synthesis are historically hindered by low yields and harsh conditions. Overcoming these synthetic bottlenecks enables more cost-effective production of complex fluorinated building blocks.
