Description

Oxiranecarboxaldehyde, 3-Hexyl-, (2S-Cis)- (9Ci) is a chiral, high-purity epoxide derivative that serves as a critical chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to introduce both an aldehyde functionality and a stereodefined oxirane ring, enabling the construction of complex molecules with precise stereochemistry. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require enantiomerically pure intermediates for the development of active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in antiviral, antifungal, and cardiovascular drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of chiral pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators where specific stereochemistry is crucial for bioactivity and environmental safety.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Ligand Precursor: Serves as a starting material for the synthesis of novel chiral ligands and catalysts used in enantioselective transformations.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Employed in the production of specialty chemicals, flavors, fragrances, and advanced materials that require high stereochemical purity.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for chemists in research and development for exploring new synthetic methodologies and creating novel molecular architectures.

Quality Control

Our Oxiranecarboxaldehyde, 3-Hexyl-, (2S-Cis)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for sensitive synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess are provided with every shipment. We support compliance with cGMP and ICH guidelines for pharmaceutical development.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its sensitivity, minimize exposure to air and moisture during handling.
