Description

1-Phenylethylamine Hcl CAS NO 13437-79-1 is a high-purity chiral amine salt, serving as a critical building block in asymmetric synthesis and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its primary value lies in its role as a versatile resolving agent and chiral intermediate, enabling the production of enantiomerically pure compounds. This product is essential for research laboratories and industrial-scale producers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical sectors who require reliable, high-quality chiral auxiliaries.

Application

• As a chiral resolving agent for the separation of racemic mixtures of carboxylic acids and other acidic compounds.
• Key chiral intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for central nervous system (CNS) drugs and analgesics.
• Building block for the preparation of chiral ligands and catalysts used in asymmetric hydrogenation and other enantioselective reactions.
• Intermediate in agrochemical research for developing enantiomerically pure herbicides and pesticides.
• Used in academic and industrial R&D for method development in chiral chromatography and analytical standard preparation.
• Precursor for the synthesis of N-substituted derivatives with potential biological activity.

Quality Control

Our 1-Phenylethylamine Hcl is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, enantiomeric purity (where applicable), and impurity profiles. The product meets typical standards for fine chemical and pharmaceutical intermediate applications. Specific grades, including enantiomerically pure (R) or (S) forms, are available upon request with corresponding specifications.

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). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
