Description

[1-[(Benzyloxy)Methyl]Cyclopropyl]Methanol is a specialized organic building block featuring a cyclopropane ring substituted with both a benzyl-protected hydroxymethyl group and a primary alcohol. This compound is valued for its unique sterically constrained structure, which is highly useful in the synthesis of complex molecules. It is primarily sought by research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for applications in medicinal chemistry and advanced material synthesis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon for constructing novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring a rigid, three-membered carbocyclic scaffold.
• Medicinal Chemistry Research: Used in the discovery and optimization of new drug candidates, leveraging the cyclopropane ring to modulate biological activity and metabolic stability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a building block for developing advanced pesticides and herbicides with unique modes of action.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Employed in the preparation of chiral ligands or organocatalysts for asymmetric synthesis.
• Material Science Precursor: Potential monomer or cross-linking agent for creating polymers with specific thermal or mechanical properties.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: Supplied to CDMOs (Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations) for client-specific synthetic projects.

Quality Control

Our [1-[(Benzyloxy)Methyl]Cyclopropyl]Methanol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure high purity and consistent identity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) standards for pharmaceutical 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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
