Description

7α,15-Dihydroxydehydroabietic Acid is a functionalized diterpenoid derivative of dehydroabietic acid, characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl groups at specific positions on its tricyclic phenanthrene framework. This structural modification enhances its polarity and reactivity, making it a valuable chiral intermediate and a subject of interest in advanced organic synthesis. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial R&D departments focused on pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and high-value specialty chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly in developing anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agents.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of new-generation, bio-based pesticides and plant growth regulators leveraging its diterpene backbone.
• Material Science: Investigated as a monomer or additive for producing specialized resins, polymers, and coatings with enhanced properties.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A crucial reference standard and starting material for chemical research in natural product chemistry and synthetic methodology.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Employed in the multi-step synthesis of complex fragrance compounds and other high-value specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our 7α,15-Dihydroxydehydroabietic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets high-purity research-grade standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with batch-specific data is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical R&D applications.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect stability and handling properties.
