Description

cis-1,2-Diaminocyclohexane is a versatile chiral diamine building block essential for the synthesis of complex organic molecules and catalysts. Its rigid cyclohexane backbone and cis-oriented amino groups make it a critical ligand and precursor in asymmetric synthesis, enabling high stereoselectivity in chemical reactions. This compound is particularly valuable for pharmaceutical R&D, agrochemical production, and the manufacture of advanced materials where precise molecular geometry is required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Key chiral building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially in antiviral and cardiovascular drugs.
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Serves as a precursor for chiral ligands and catalysts used in enantioselective hydrogenation and other transition metal-catalyzed reactions.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Used as a curing agent or cross-linking agent for epoxy resins, polyurethanes, and other specialty polymers to enhance thermal and mechanical properties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the production of chiral herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Chelating Agents: Forms stable complexes with metal ions for applications in metal extraction, purification, and as additives in lubricants.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Component in formulations designed to protect metals in industrial cooling systems and pipelines.

Quality Control

Our cis-1,2-Diaminocyhexane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
