Description

Oxiranecarboxylic Acid, 3-Propyl-, Ethyl Ester, (2S-Trans)- (9Ci) is a high-purity, chiral epoxide derivative of significant value in advanced organic synthesis. This compound serves as a critical chiral building block and intermediate, enabling the stereoselective construction of complex molecular architectures. It is primarily sought after by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), agrochemicals, and specialty fine chemicals where precise stereochemistry is paramount.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of novel drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in therapeutic areas requiring high stereochemical purity.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of advanced pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides where the specific stereoisomer can influence biological activity and environmental profile.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Employed as a versatile electrophile in ring-opening reactions and other transformations to introduce chiral centers with high enantioselectivity.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a precursor for flavors, fragrances, and other high-value specialty chemicals that benefit from its defined stereochemistry.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological development in organic chemistry and catalysis research within university and corporate laboratories.
