Description

(R/S)-2-(3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl)Butyric Acid CAS NO 195202-06-3 is a chiral, non-racemic synthetic intermediate characterized by its trimethoxyphenyl and butyric acid functional groups. This compound is of significant value in pharmaceutical research and development, particularly as a key building block for the synthesis of more complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for creating novel compounds with potential biological activity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial chiral synthon for the research and development of new drug candidates, especially in central nervous system (CNS) and anti-inflammatory therapeutic areas.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a precursor in the development of advanced herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators leveraging its aromatic ether structure.
• Fine Chemical Production: Used in the custom synthesis of specialty chemicals, ligands for catalysis, and advanced materials requiring specific chiral centers.
• Academic & Contract Research: Employed in university and CRO (Contract Research Organization) laboratories for methodological studies in asymmetric synthesis and medicinal chemistry.
• Biochemical Probe Development: Potential use in designing molecular probes to study enzyme interactions and biological pathways due to its defined stereochemistry and functional group compatibility.

Quality Control

Our (R/S)-2-(3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenyl)Butyric Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data (HPLC, GC) are provided and available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, and strong acids.
