Description

(R)-(-)-2-Methylpiperidine CAS NO 1722-95-8 is a high-purity chiral piperidine derivative, a crucial building block in asymmetric synthesis. Its value lies in its role as a versatile chiral auxiliary and intermediate for creating enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This product is essential for research and development chemists, process chemists, and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries who require a reliable source of high-quality chiral intermediates.

Application

• As a key chiral building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular drugs.
• As a ligand precursor or catalyst component in asymmetric hydrogenation and other enantioselective catalytic reactions.
• In the research and development of novel agrochemicals, including herbicides and fungicides with specific stereochemical requirements.
• For the preparation of chiral ionic liquids and other specialty materials used in separation science and analytical chemistry.
• As a starting material for the synthesis of complex natural products and other biologically active molecules in academic and industrial research.
• In the development of diagnostic agents and imaging probes where chirality impacts biological interaction.

Quality Control

Our (R)-(-)-2-Methylpiperidine is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by GC or HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results for identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess are provided and available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and concentration changes. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
