Description

Oxirane, [(Octyloxy)Methyl]-, (R)- is a chiral, enantiomerically pure epoxide derivative, a high-value building block in asymmetric synthesis. Its core value lies in its ability to introduce a specific stereochemistry and an extended alkyl chain into target molecules, enabling the creation of complex, optically active compounds. This product is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors who require precise stereochemical control in their synthetic routes.

Application

• As a key chiral intermediate in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs targeting the central nervous system.
• In the production of enantiomerically pure agrochemicals, such as specific herbicides and fungicides, where biological activity is stereospecific.
• For the development of specialty polymers and liquid crystals, where the chiral center and alkoxy chain impart specific optical and material properties.
• As a building block in organic synthesis for creating complex natural products and fine chemicals requiring the (R)-configuration.
• In research and development for exploring new asymmetric catalytic processes and methodologies.

Quality Control

Our Oxirane, [(Octyloxy)Methyl]-, (R)- is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure high chemical purity and enantiomeric excess (e.e.) suitable for demanding synthetic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming specifications for identity, purity, and chiral purity via methods such as chiral GC or HPLC.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maintain stability and minimize volatility. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and oxidizing agents.
