Description

(cis-2-Amino-2-Methyl-Cyclopentyl)-Methanol Hydrochloride is a high-purity chiral building block and intermediate of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its functionalized cyclopentane scaffold, which serves as a versatile precursor for the development of novel pharmacologically active compounds. This intermediate is primarily needed by research and development teams within the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for creating new active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the research and development of new drug candidates, particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and antiviral therapeutic areas.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for the creation of novel, high-efficacy pesticides and herbicides with specific stereochemical requirements.
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Used as a precursor for chiral ligands or catalysts in stereoselective synthesis processes.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate in the multi-step synthesis of complex, high-value specialty chemicals and flavors/fragrances.
• Academic & Contract Research: Valuable reagent for methodological studies in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry research programs.
• Peptidomimetic Development: The aminomethylcyclopentane structure is useful for constructing conformationally constrained peptide analogs.

Quality Control

Our (cis-2-Amino-2-Methyl-Cyclopentyl)-Methanol Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, identity confirmation by IR and NMR, and precise quantification of assay and impurities. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and results are provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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 after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
