Description

Cyclohexanecarboxylic Acid, 4-Mercapto-, cis- (9Ci) is a specialized chiral building block featuring both a carboxylic acid and a thiol (mercapto) functional group on a cyclohexane ring. This unique bifunctional structure makes it a valuable intermediate for synthesizing complex molecules in pharmaceutical and advanced material research. It is particularly sought after by R&D chemists and process development scientists working on active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), chiral ligands, and functional polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the development of novel Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), especially in therapeutic areas requiring stereochemical control.
• Ligand Synthesis: Used in the preparation of chiral ligands and catalysts for asymmetric synthesis, enhancing the efficiency of stereoselective reactions.
• Polymer Modification: Serves as a functional monomer or cross-linking agent for introducing thiol and acid groups into specialty polymers and coatings.
• Peptidomimetics Research: Employed in the design and synthesis of peptidomimetics and other bio-active compounds that mimic natural peptides.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: A versatile building block for creating complex organic molecules in agrochemical and material science research.

Quality Control

Our Cyclohexanecarboxylic Acid, 4-Mercapto-, cis- (9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity and assay determination, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation and light, minimize exposure to air and light during handling.
