Description

(S)-2-(3-Bromophenyl)-Propionic Acid is a high-purity chiral building block of significant importance in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its role as a key intermediate for constructing complex molecules with defined stereochemistry, which is critical for developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other fine chemicals. This product is essential for research chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require enantiomerically pure intermediates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial chiral synthon for the research and development of novel Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), particularly in anti-inflammatory and analgesic drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of enantiomerically pure herbicides and pesticides, where the specific (S)-enantiomer can offer enhanced biological activity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of advanced organic materials and liquid crystals where bromine substitution and chirality impart specific properties.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable compound for methodological studies in asymmetric synthesis, cross-coupling reactions, and stereochemistry.

Quality Control

Our (S)-2-(3-Bromophenyl)-Propionic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high enantiomeric purity. Each lot is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral HPLC for enantiomeric excess (ee) verification. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory 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 (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.
