Description

Oxiranecarboxylic Acid, 2-Ethyl-, Ethyl Ester, (R)- (9Ci) is a high-purity, chiral epoxide derivative, specifically the (R)-enantiomer of ethyl 2-ethylglycidate. This compound serves as a critical chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis, enabling the stereoselective construction of complex molecules. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries who require enantiomerically pure intermediates for the development of active ingredients and specialty materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in cardiovascular and central nervous system (CNS) drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of chiral herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where specific stereochemistry is required for biological activity.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a versatile precursor for flavors, fragrances, and other high-value specialty chemicals requiring precise stereocontrol.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Research: Valuable substrate for developing and testing new chiral catalysts and methodologies in academic and industrial R&D laboratories.
• Material Science Monomer: Potential use as a reactive monomer for creating polymers with specific stereochemical architectures.
