Description

(2S,6S)-2,6-Di-tert-Butyl-1,2,3,5,6,7-Hexahydroimidazo[1,2-A]Imidazol-4-Ium Iodide is a high-purity, chiral ionic liquid salt with a unique bicyclic imidazolium core structure. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile organocatalyst and chiral auxiliary in asymmetric synthesis, enabling the production of enantiomerically pure intermediates. It is primarily needed by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of advanced active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals where stereochemical control is critical.

Application

• Asymmetric Organocatalysis: Employed as a chiral phase-transfer catalyst (PTC) or Lewis base catalyst for enantioselective alkylation, Michael addition, and aldol reactions.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: A key building block or chiral inducer in the multi-step synthesis of complex drug molecules, particularly in oncology and CNS therapeutic areas.
• Ligand for Metal Complexes: Used to prepare chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursors for asymmetric metal-catalyzed transformations like cross-coupling and hydrogenation.
• Material Science Research: Investigated as a component in chiral ionic liquids or functionalized polymers for selective separation membranes and sensors.
• Academic & Process Chemistry: Serves as a reference standard and a tool for method development in stereoselective synthesis within R&D laboratories.

Quality Control

Our (2S,6S)-2,6-Di-tert-Butyl-1,2,3,5,6,7-Hexahydroimidazo[1,2-A]Imidazol-4-Ium Iodide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure compliance with research and pharmaceutical-grade standards. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be handled under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use.
