Description

(S)-(-)-1-Phenyl-1-Decanol is a high-purity chiral secondary alcohol, characterized by its specific (S)-configuration and a long alkyl chain attached to a phenyl-substituted carbon. This compound matters as a valuable chiral building block and resolving agent in asymmetric synthesis, offering precise stereochemical control for the development of advanced materials and pharmaceuticals. Industries that need it include pharmaceutical R&D for active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) synthesis, fine chemical manufacturing for specialty intermediates, and academic research laboratories focused on stereoselective catalysis and material science.

Application

• Chiral Intermediate in Pharmaceutical Synthesis: A key building block for the preparation of enantiomerically pure APIs, particularly those requiring a specific (S)-configuration.
• Chiral Resolving Agent: Used for the separation of racemic mixtures of acids or other compounds via diastereomeric salt formation.
• Ligand Precursor in Asymmetric Catalysis: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing chiral ligands used in transition metal-catalyzed reactions.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of chiral liquid crystals or polymers with specific optical properties.
• Reference Standard: Utilized as an analytical standard in chromatography (HPLC, GC) for method development and quality control of chiral compounds.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: An intermediate for producing specialty surfactants, fragrances, or other functional molecules where the stereochemistry influences performance.
