Introduction:
Ruthenium–p-Cymene–S–Binap is a ruthenium-based coordination complex widely used as a homogeneous catalyst in asymmetric hydrogenation, transfer hydrogenation, and chiral synthesis reactions. It consists of a ruthenium center coordinated with p-cymene (aromatic ligand) and S–Binap (chiral diphosphine ligand), providing excellent enantioselectivity and high catalytic activity. This compound plays a vital role in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and research industries for the production of optically pure compounds.
