dppe is widely used in several types of catalysis, including:
- Homogeneous Catalysis: dppe-metal complexes are soluble in the reaction medium, facilitating better interaction with reactants. - Asymmetric Catalysis: dppe can be used to create chiral environments around the metal center, which is crucial for asymmetric synthesis. - Organometallic Catalysis: dppe stabilizes metal-carbon bonds, making it valuable in processes like hydroformylation and hydrogenation.
