Description

(+)-A-Aminomethyl-o-Chlorobenzyl Alcohol is a chiral, optically active organic compound featuring both amino and alcohol functional groups on a chlorinated benzyl backbone. This unique structure makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in the synthesis of complex, biologically active molecules. It is primarily sought after by research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the production of enantiomerically pure active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the development of enantiopure drugs, particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular therapeutic areas.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced, optically active pesticides and herbicides to enhance efficacy and reduce environmental impact.
• Catalyst and Ligand Preparation: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing chiral ligands used in asymmetric catalysis.
• Fine Chemical Research: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new synthetic methodologies and novel chemical entities.
• Peptidomimetics: The aminomethyl group allows for incorporation into peptide-like structures to modulate biological activity.

Quality Control

Our (+)-A-Aminomethyl-o-Chlorobenzyl Alcohol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure high chemical and enantiomeric purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistent quality and traceability for your critical synthesis workflows.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties.
