Description

(R)-Phaselic Acid CAS NO 149197-97-7 is a chiral organic acid of significant interest in advanced synthetic chemistry and pharmaceutical research. Its value lies in its utility as a key chiral building block or intermediate for the synthesis of more complex, biologically active molecules. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and industrial R&D departments focused on developing new pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty fine chemicals where stereochemical purity is critical.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a crucial chiral synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs targeting specific enantiomeric activity.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel, enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators where the (R)-enantiomer provides the desired biological effect.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Research: Employed as a ligand precursor or a chiral pool starting material in academic and industrial research focused on developing new asymmetric synthetic methodologies.
• Fine Chemical Production: Acts as a building block for synthesizing complex natural products, flavors, fragrances, and other high-value specialty chemicals requiring defined stereochemistry.
• Biochemical Research: Potentially used as a standard or probe in enzymatic studies or metabolic pathway analysis due to its specific chiral configuration.

Quality Control

Every batch of (R)-Phaselic Acid is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure high chemical and chiral purity, meeting the exacting standards required for research and development. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including chiral HPLC analysis to confirm enantiomeric excess (ee). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific test results 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 (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and strong acids. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere to maintain optimal stability.
