Description

(R)-2-((4-Fluorophenoxy)Methyl)Oxirane is a high-purity chiral epoxide building block of significant importance in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its role as a key intermediate for constructing complex molecules with defined stereochemistry, which is critical for developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and specialty agrochemicals. This compound is essential for research and production chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries who require enantiomerically pure intermediates for asymmetric synthesis and process development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial chiral synthon for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular research.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced, stereoselective herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where specific chirality enhances biological activity and reduces environmental impact.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric catalysis, enabling more efficient and selective chemical transformations.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Employed in the custom synthesis of specialty chemicals, flavors, fragrances, and advanced materials requiring high stereochemical purity.
• Academic and R&D: A valuable tool in university and corporate research laboratories for methodological development in organic chemistry and stereochemistry studies.

Quality Control

Our (R)-2-((4-Fluorophenoxy)Methyl)Oxirane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
