Description

1H-Imidazolium, 1,3-Bis[(1S)-1-Phenylethyl]-, Chloride is a chiral ionic liquid and a specialized organic salt featuring a unique imidazolium core with stereogenic centers. This compound matters as a high-value, structurally defined intermediate and chiral catalyst or ligand for asymmetric synthesis, offering precise control over reaction stereochemistry. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for developing novel synthetic routes and fine chemicals.

Application

• As a chiral catalyst or co-catalyst in asymmetric organic transformations, such as hydrogenation, alkylation, and C-C bond-forming reactions.
• As a chiral ionic liquid solvent or additive to influence stereoselectivity and reaction kinetics in specialized synthesis.
• As a key intermediate in pharmaceutical research for the development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with specific stereochemistry.
• In agrochemical research for creating enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators.
• For academic and industrial R&D in organocatalysis and green chemistry initiatives.
• As a building block for advanced materials, such as chiral stationary phases for chromatography or functionalized polymers.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Every batch is characterized to confirm identity, chiral purity, and chemical purity, with critical parameters monitored by techniques such as HPLC, NMR, and optical rotation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific results are available upon request, supporting your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect purity and performance. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
