Description

4-[(2S)-Oxiranylmethoxy]Benzenepropanoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity chiral epoxide derivative, a crucial advanced intermediate in organic synthesis. Its value lies in its reactive oxirane (epoxide) ring, which enables stereoselective ring-opening reactions to construct complex molecules with high enantiomeric purity. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries, particularly for developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other high-value specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of chiral drugs, especially in cardiovascular and central nervous system (CNS) therapeutic areas.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Serves as a chiral template or electrophile in stereocontrolled chemical reactions to introduce specific three-dimensional architecture.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Material Precursor: Used in the research and development of advanced electronic display materials requiring specific molecular orientation.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate for creating enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Polymer Modification: Functional monomer for introducing reactive epoxy groups into polymer chains to modify properties like adhesion and cross-linking density.
• Academic & R&D: Valuable reagent for methodological studies in organic chemistry, catalysis, and medicinal chemistry research.

Quality Control

Our 4-[(2S)-Oxiranylmethoxy]Benzenepropanoic Acid Methyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity (enantiomeric excess) and chemical purity assays, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation by atmospheric moisture.
