Description

2-Butanone, 3-(Methoxymethoxy)-, (S)- (9Ci) is a chiral, functionalized ketone building block of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its unique molecular architecture, which combines a ketone functional group with a protected chiral alcohol, making it a versatile precursor for complex, stereoselective reactions. This compound is primarily needed by research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), chiral ligands, and other high-value fine chemicals.

Application

• Chiral Intermediate in Pharmaceutical Synthesis: A key starting material for the stereoselective construction of complex drug molecules, particularly those requiring specific (S)-configuration.
• Agrochemical Precursor: Used in the development of enantiomerically pure pesticides and herbicides where biological activity is often stereospecific.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a building block for synthesizing novel chiral ligands used in asymmetric catalysis (e.g., for hydrogenation or oxidation reactions).
• Fine Chemical and Specialty Material Production: Employed in the research and small-scale production of advanced materials, flavors, and fragrances requiring precise stereochemistry.
• Academic and Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for methodological development in organic chemistry, enabling studies in stereocontrol and new reaction pathways.

Quality Control

Our production of (S)-3-(Methoxymethoxy)butan-2-one adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high enantiomeric purity, critical for sensitive synthetic applications. Each lot is characterized by comprehensive analytical techniques including chiral HPLC, GC, NMR, and optical rotation measurement. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profile is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation.

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). Due to its high volatility and sensitivity to strong acids and organic solvents, keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials. Use appropriate grounding and bonding procedures during handling and transfer.
