Description

1,2,3,4-Cyclopentanetetramethanol,(1-α-,2-Bta-,3-α-,4-Bta-)-(9Ci) is a high-purity, multifunctional organic building block characterized by its unique cyclopentane core with four hydroxymethyl substituents. This compound matters for its role as a versatile chiral synthon in advanced organic synthesis, enabling the construction of complex molecular architectures. It is primarily needed by research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries for applications in asymmetric synthesis, ligand development, and the creation of novel polymers and dendrimers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral building block for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and complex drug candidates.
• Asymmetric Catalyst Ligand Synthesis: Used in the development of novel chiral ligands for transition metal catalysis, enhancing enantioselectivity in critical reactions.
• Polymer Chemistry: Acts as a multifunctional monomer or cross-linking agent for producing specialty polymers with tailored properties, such as polyesters and polyurethanes.
• Dendrimer and Hyperbranched Polymer Construction: Provides a compact, multi-branching core unit for building precisely defined macromolecular structures.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed in the research-scale production of complex natural product analogs and other high-value specialty chemicals.
• Material Science Research: Investigated for creating novel organic frameworks or functional materials due to its defined stereochemistry and multiple reactive sites.

Quality Control

Our 1,2,3,4-Cyclopentanetetramethanol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high chemical purity and consistent stereochemical integrity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles. Our quality systems support compliance with cGMP standards for pharmaceutical development use.

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 after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect product stability and performance. For long-term storage, consider the use of desiccants.
