Description

(R)-3-Aminobutanenitrile Hydrochloride is a high-purity chiral building block essential for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and advanced organic compounds. Its value lies in providing a stereochemically defined nitrile and amine functionality, which is critical for constructing complex molecules with specific biological activity. This intermediate is primarily needed by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for developing new active ingredients and specialty materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and antiviral drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of enantiopure herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where specific stereochemistry enhances efficacy and reduces environmental impact.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Research: Serves as a valuable ligand precursor or substrate in the development and study of new asymmetric catalytic reactions.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Employed in the synthesis of specialty chemicals, flavors, fragrances, and advanced materials requiring precise stereochemical control.
• Academic & Process Chemistry: A crucial reagent for methodological studies in organic synthesis and for scaling up synthetic routes in process chemistry.

Quality Control

Our (R)-3-Aminobutanenitrile Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high chemical purity, enantiomeric excess (ee), and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, chiral purity (HPLC), and other critical parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and production specifications.

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) and must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
