Description

(3R,6R)-3,6-Octanediol CAS NO 129619-37-0 is a high-purity, stereochemically defined chiral diol, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to impart specific three-dimensional structure and functionality to target molecules, which is essential for creating compounds with defined biological or material properties. This product is primarily needed by research institutions and industrial R&D departments in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors for applications such as chiral ligand synthesis, polymer modification, and the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Chiral Intermediate in Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as a key starting material or intermediate for the production of enantiomerically pure drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Research & Development: Employed in the synthesis of novel, stereospecific pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Specialty Polymer & Material Science: Acts as a monomer or chain extender for creating polymers with specific tacticity, biodegradability, or mechanical properties.
• Ligand & Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing chiral ligands used in asymmetric catalysis (e.g., hydrogenation, oxidation reactions).
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Utilized in the synthesis of complex, natural-identical aroma chemicals requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A valuable tool for chemists exploring new synthetic methodologies and structure-activity relationships (SAR).

Quality Control

Our (3R,6R)-3,6-Octanediol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications for identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
