Description

(S)-2-(Isochroman-1-Yl)Ethanol is a chiral, non-racemic organic compound featuring an isochroman core fused to an ethanol side chain. This specific stereochemistry makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. It is primarily utilized by research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the creation of novel active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of new drug candidates, particularly for central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular targets.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of advanced, stereoselective pesticides and herbicides where the specific (S)-enantiomer is required for optimal biological activity.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Ligand Precursor: The structure can be modified to create novel chiral ligands for metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the multi-step synthesis of complex, high-value specialty chemicals and flavors & fragrances.
• Academic & Institutional Research: A valuable compound for methodological studies in organic chemistry, particularly in stereoselective synthesis and heterocyclic chemistry.

Quality Control

Every batch of (S)-2-(Isochroman-1-Yl)Ethanol is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure high chemical and chiral purity. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing chiral purity (enantiomeric excess), chemical purity, and identity confirmation are available upon request.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
