Description

2-Amino-1-(2,5-Dimethylphenyl)Ethanol is a versatile chiral amino alcohol building block with significant synthetic utility. Its molecular structure, featuring both amino and hydroxyl functional groups on a chiral center adjacent to a substituted aromatic ring, makes it a valuable intermediate for the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals. This compound is primarily sought by research and development chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications in asymmetric synthesis, catalysis, and the preparation of complex organic molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the synthesis of potential drug candidates, particularly for central nervous system (CNS) agents and receptor modulators.
• Asymmetric Catalyst Ligand: Used to prepare chiral ligands for metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions, such as hydrogenation or addition reactions, to produce enantiomerically pure compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block for developing novel, chiral active ingredients for crop protection products.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, including dyes, pigments, and advanced materials requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A valuable compound for methodological development in organic synthesis and for exploring new reaction pathways in chemical research.

Quality Control

Our 2-Amino-1-(2,5-Dimethylphenyl)Ethanol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and other critical parameters. We support custom synthesis and can tailor specifications to meet specific project requirements, including compliance with cGMP for pharmaceutical development.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation and moisture absorption.
