Description

Oxiranecarboxylic Acid, 3-Propyl-, Methyl Ester, (2R,3S)-Rel- (9Ci) is a high-purity, stereochemically defined chiral epoxide derivative. This compound serves as a critical chiral building block and synthetic intermediate in advanced organic synthesis, enabling the construction of complex molecules with precise stereochemistry. It is essential for research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require enantiomerically enriched intermediates for the production of active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in routes requiring stereoselective ring-opening reactions.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where specific stereochemistry impacts biological activity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances that require high stereochemical purity.
• Academic and Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for methodological development in organic chemistry and for exploring new reaction pathways in process chemistry.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or cross-linking agent in the synthesis of polymers with specific chiral or functional properties.
