Description

2-Thiopheneethanamine, α-Ethyl-, (+)- is a chiral amine derivative of thiophene, a high-value building block in asymmetric synthesis. This compound matters for its role as a key chiral intermediate in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and advanced materials. It is primarily needed by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for creating novel compounds with specific stereochemistry.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical chiral synthon for the research and production of novel APIs, particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and antiviral drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of chiral pesticides and herbicides, where specific stereochemistry can enhance efficacy and reduce environmental impact.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Serves as a precursor for chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric catalysis.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the synthesis of functionalized polymers and advanced organic materials with tailored electronic properties.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Useful for creating labeled compounds and molecular probes to study biological systems and enzyme mechanisms.

Quality Control

Our 2-Thiopheneethanamine, α-Ethyl-, (+)- is produced 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 advanced synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
