Description

S-α-Cyano-3-Phenoxy Benzyl Alcohol is a chiral synthetic intermediate of significant importance in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Its value lies in its role as a key building block for the synthesis of more complex, biologically active molecules, particularly pyrethroid insecticides and certain pharmaceuticals. This compound is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories seeking high-purity chiral precursors to ensure the efficacy and specificity of their final products.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediate: A critical chiral precursor in the synthesis of advanced, enantiomerically pure pyrethroid insecticides, contributing to their enhanced activity and environmental profile.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile building block for constructing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other bioactive compounds requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Fine Chemical Production: Used in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances where optical purity is a key performance parameter.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D settings for method development and the creation of novel chemical entities in medicinal and synthetic chemistry.
• Chiral Catalyst/ Ligand Synthesis: Acts as a starting material for the preparation of chiral auxiliaries, ligands, or catalysts used in asymmetric synthesis.

Quality Control

Our S-α-Cyano-3-Phenoxy Benzyl Alcohol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity (enantiomeric excess) determination, assay, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. Keep away from heat sources and incompatible materials.
