Description

(S)-(-)-1-(2-Furyl)Ethanol is a high-purity chiral alcohol derivative of furan, characterized by its specific (S)-(-) stereochemistry. This compound serves as a valuable chiral building block and resolving agent in asymmetric synthesis, offering critical control over stereochemical outcomes in complex molecule construction. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial R&D departments in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical sectors for the development of active ingredients and advanced materials.

Application

• As a chiral synthon in the asymmetric synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Utilized as a chiral resolving agent for the separation of racemic mixtures.
• Acts as a key precursor in the synthesis of ligands for asymmetric catalysis, such as phosphines and oxazolines.
• Employed in agrochemical research for the development of enantiomerically pure herbicides and fungicides.
• Serves as a building block for liquid crystals and other advanced organic materials.
• Used in academic and industrial R&D for methodological studies in stereoselective reactions.
