Description

Rac-(αr*)-α-(Aminomethyl)-4-Hydroxybenzenemethanol is a versatile chiral amino alcohol derivative that serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. This compound is valued for its bifunctional nature, containing both an amino and a hydroxyl group on a benzylic framework, which makes it a key intermediate for constructing complex molecular architectures. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), chiral catalysts, and specialty fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the research and development of novel Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), particularly for central nervous system (CNS) agents and receptor modulators.
• Asymmetric Catalyst Ligand: Used in the synthesis of chiral ligands for transition metal catalysts, enabling enantioselective transformations in fine chemical production.
• Peptidomimetic Chemistry: Serves as a scaffold or backbone unit for designing and synthesizing peptide analogs and mimetics with enhanced metabolic stability.
• Chemical Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D labs for methodological studies in organic synthesis and as a reference standard.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for the manufacture of specialty chemicals, including dyes, agrochemical intermediates, and advanced material monomers.

Quality Control

Our Rac-(αr*)-α-(Aminomethyl)-4-Hydroxybenzenemethanol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties. Keep away from incompatible materials.
