Description

[(2S,3R,5S,6S)-2,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxycyclohexyl]Oxyphosphonic Acid is a high-purity, stereochemically defined organophosphorus compound, also known as a phosphonic acid derivative of a fully hydroxylated cyclohexane. This compound matters for its unique chemical structure, which combines a rigid cyclohexyl backbone with multiple hydroxyl groups and a phosphonic acid moiety, offering specific chelating and binding properties. It is primarily needed by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for use as a chiral building block, a ligand in catalysis, or a precursor for novel bioactive molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of novel therapeutic agents, particularly for drugs targeting metabolic pathways or requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Catalysis & Ligand Synthesis: Utilized as a precursor for creating sophisticated multidentate ligands used in asymmetric synthesis and metal-catalyzed reactions.
• Agrochemical Research: Investigated as a potential bioactive component or a structural motif in the design of new herbicides, plant growth regulators, or fungicides.
• Chelating Agent: Functions as a specialized chelator for metal ions in analytical chemistry, water treatment formulations, or as an additive in industrial processes.
• Biochemical Probe: Used in biochemical and microbiological research to study enzyme inhibition, metabolic pathways, or as a molecular tool due to its phosphonate group mimicking phosphate esters.
• Material Science: Acts as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the synthesis of functional polymers, resins, or coatings with specific adhesion or metal-binding characteristics.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product stability and performance.
