catASium T
The catASium T family consists of proprietary, patentpending ligands for the production of special enantiomerically pure substances essential for the manufacture of active ingredients in the pharmaceuticals industry. It is especially useful for the enantioselective hydrogenation of poorly substituted enamides and beta-amino acid precursors, and displays unusually high selectivities for these syntheses. catASium T is based on terpenes like camphor, which makes it easily accessible.
