Description

2-Heptanone, 4-Hydroxy-, (4R)- (9Ci) is a chiral, hydroxylated ketone of significant interest in fine chemical synthesis. This compound matters as a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for the production of more complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. Industries requiring high-purity, stereochemically defined intermediates for research and development will find this product essential.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially for compounds requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced pesticides and herbicides where its structural motif can influence biological activity.
• Flavor and Fragrance Ingredient: Acts as a potential precursor for musk-like or fruity aroma compounds due to its ketone functionality and carbon chain length.
• Organic Synthesis Research: Employed in academic and industrial R&D laboratories for studying asymmetric synthesis, catalysis, and novel reaction pathways.
• Specialty Chemical Manufacturing: Functions as an intermediate for producing surfactants, plasticizers, or other performance chemicals that benefit from a hydroxyl-ketone backbone.

Quality Control

Our 2-Heptanone, 4-Hydroxy-, (4R)- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical techniques including chiral HPLC, GC, and NMR spectroscopy. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles is provided with each 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 a controlled room temperature (typically 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 moisture absorption and oxidation.
