Trost Asymmetric Allylic AlkylationTrost Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation
DowpharmaSM has licensed worldwide from Stanford University for the Trost palladium- and molybdenum-based catalysts for asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions. These carbon-heteroatom and carbon-carbon bond-forming technologies allow the construction of complex structural features. We have developed the synthesis of the ligands and they are now availble for large-scale commercial applications.

Asymmetric allylic alkylation is truly an enabling methodology, allowing a plethora of chiral molecules to be synthesized. Dowpharma has developed many processes to useful synthetic intermediates utilizing the Trost technology. This includes routes to vinylglycinol, 2-aminotetralins, 3-buten-1,2-diol, Calanolide A, 2-cyclohexenylamine and quaternary amino acids.
