Description

(2S,4R)-(-)-2,4-Dimethylheptan-1-Ol CAS NO 18450-74-3 is a high-purity, chiral secondary alcohol characterized by its specific stereochemistry at the 2 and 4 positions. This compound is a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis, where its defined stereochemistry is critical for producing enantiomerically pure products. It is primarily utilized by the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring precise molecular geometry, such as in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), chiral ligands, and complex natural product analogs.

Application

• Chiral Intermediate in Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for the production of enantiomerically pure active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Development: Used in the research and synthesis of chiral pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators where biological activity is stereospecific.
• Catalyst and Ligand Preparation: Acts as a precursor for synthesizing chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis.
• Fragrance and Flavor Chemistry: Employed in the creation of sophisticated, stereochemically-defined aroma chemicals and flavor compounds.
• Material Science Research: Utilized as a monomer or modifying agent in the development of polymers with specific chiral properties.
• Academic and R&D Laboratories: A critical reagent for methodological development in organic chemistry and stereochemistry studies.
