(R,R)-(–)-N,N’-Bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediamino-cobalt(II) (Cat No.: M032670) is a chiral cobalt(II) salen complex widely used as a homogeneous catalyst in asymmetric transformations, such as epoxidation of alkenes. The ligand framework includes two salicylidene moieties with bulky tert-butyl groups, enhancing steric control and stability, and a chiral cyclohexanediamine backbone that imparts enantioselectivity. The cobalt center participates in redox processes, facilitating oxidation reactions. This complex is highly valuable in asymmetric synthesis for producing enantiomerically enriched compounds in pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications.
