Description

Pyridine, 3-(2R)-Oxiranyl- (9Ci) is a specialized chiral oxiranylpyridine derivative, a high-value intermediate in fine chemical synthesis. Its core value lies in the reactive oxirane (epoxide) ring fused to the pyridine heterocycle, enabling it to serve as a versatile building block for constructing complex molecular architectures with precise stereochemistry. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), agrochemicals, and advanced materials. Its specific stereochemistry makes it a critical precursor for synthesizing targeted molecules in medicinal chemistry programs.

Quality Control

Our Pyridine, 3-(2R)-Oxiranyl- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis (HPLC, Chiral GC), to ensure high enantiomeric excess (ee) and chemical purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, impurity profile, and specific rotation are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP standards for pharmaceutical intermediates, ensuring traceability and consistency for critical research and development applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). The compound may be hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
