(DHQ)2PHAL is a ligand for Sharpless Asymmetric Dihydroxylation employed in an enantioselective preparation of syn-3,5-hydroxycarboxylates from (E,E)- or (E,Z)-1,3-dienoates. (DHQ)2PHAL, shorthand for bis(dihydroquinidine)phthalazine, is a chiral ligand known for its utility in asymmetric synthesis, particularly in the field of organic chemistry research. This complex molecule functions by providing a stereoselective environment that facilitates the formation of enantiomerically pure products, a critical aspect in the synthesis of chiral molecules. The mechanism of action of (DHQ)2PHAL lies in its ability to coordinate with metal centers, forming catalyst complexes that induce chirality in substrates undergoing chemical reactions. This property is especially valuable in the development of novel synthetic routes for agrochemicals, and materials science, where the control of molecular chirality is paramount.
