<h3>Overview</h3>
<p><strong>(S)-RuCl[(benzene)(T-BINAP)]Cl</strong> is a chiral Ruthenium catalyst derived from (R,R)- or (S,S)-Tetramethyl-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane. It features the molecular formula C<sub>34</sub>H<sub>36</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>P<sub>2</sub>Ru and CAS 156098-77-8. This complex facilitates asymmetric hydrogenation via a cationic mechanism.</p>
<h3>Application</h3>
<ul>
<li>Pharmaceutical synthesis for enantioselective reduction of ketones to chiral alcohols.</li>
<li>Production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring high optical purity.</li>
<li>Agricultural chemical manufacturing for stereoselective pesticide intermediates.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Precautions</h3>
<p>Store under inert atmosphere at low temperatures to prevent decomposition. Handle with strict PPE due to potential toxicity; avoid exposure to moisture and air to maintain catalytic activity.</p>
