Description

(-)-Isopinocampheol CAS NO 1196-00-5 is a high-purity, chiral terpene alcohol derived from pinene, serving as a critical chiral building block and resolving agent in advanced organic synthesis. Its defined stereochemistry and rigid bicyclic structure make it invaluable for inducing asymmetry in complex molecular frameworks. This compound is essential for research and production in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical sectors, where precise stereocontrol is paramount for developing active ingredients and specialty materials.

Application

• Chiral Auxiliary/Resolving Agent: Used to separate enantiomers of racemic mixtures and to induce chirality in asymmetric synthesis.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of chiral drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the production of chiral pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Fragrance and Flavor Chemistry: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing specific, high-value odorants and flavor compounds with desired stereochemical profiles.
• Ligand Synthesis for Catalysis: Used to prepare chiral ligands for transition metal catalysts used in enantioselective reactions.
• Academic and Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for methodological development in organic chemistry and material science research.
