Description

Benzenemethanamine, 2-Bromo-A-Methyl-, Hydrochloride, (R)- is a high-purity chiral amine building block, specifically the (R)-enantiomer, which is critical for introducing stereochemical complexity into target molecules. Its value lies in its role as a key intermediate for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and advanced agrochemicals, where the specific spatial orientation of the molecule is essential for biological activity. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries engaged in developing novel therapeutics and crop protection agents. We supply this material with a focus on consistent quality and reliable global availability to support your critical R&D and production processes.

Application

• As a chiral intermediate in the asymmetric synthesis of pharmaceutical candidates.
• Key building block for the research and development of central nervous system (CNS) active drugs and other therapeutic agents.
• Precursor in the synthesis of advanced agrochemicals, including herbicides and fungicides with specific modes of action.
• Used in academic and industrial research for methodological studies in organic and medicinal chemistry.
• Intermediate for the preparation of ligands and catalysts used in enantioselective transformations.
• Starting material for the synthesis of complex natural product analogs and other fine chemicals.

Quality Control

Our production of this chiral intermediate adheres to strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high enantiomeric purity. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including chiral HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, chiral purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation 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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
