Description

(R)-(+)-2-Bromopropionic Acid CAS NO 10009-70-8 is a high-purity chiral building block essential for the synthesis of optically active compounds. Its value lies in providing a stereochemically defined propionic acid derivative, enabling the creation of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This product is critically needed by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for developing active ingredients and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key starting material for synthesizing chiral active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other therapeutics.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Serves as a precursor for chiral ligands used in asymmetric catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a monomer or modifying agent for creating functional polymers with tailored properties.
• Academic and R&D: A valuable reagent in organic chemistry research for method development and studying stereoselective reactions.
