Description

Cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde, 1,2-Dihydroxy-, cis- (9Ci) is a specialized chiral aldehyde derivative of cyclohexane, featuring adjacent hydroxyl groups in a cis configuration. This unique structure makes it a valuable high-purity building block for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development scientists for applications requiring precise stereochemistry, such as in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), chiral ligands, and advanced material precursors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and development of novel Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), especially those targeting neurological and metabolic diseases.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for chiral auxiliaries, ligands, and catalysts used in enantioselective reactions to produce single-isomer compounds.
• Fine Chemical Production: Used in the multi-step synthesis of specialty chemicals, including flavors, fragrances, and agrochemicals with specific stereochemical requirements.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A valuable reagent in organic chemistry research for studying dihydroxylation reactions and constructing complex polycyclic frameworks.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of polymers with defined stereoregularity for advanced material applications.

Quality Control

Our Cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde, 1,2-Dihydroxy-, cis- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) due to its sensitivity to oxidation and moisture. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize condensation and moisture ingress.
