Description

(S)-(4-(1-Aminoethyl)Phenyl)Methanol is a high-purity chiral building block and intermediate of significant importance in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its bifunctional structure, featuring both a primary amine and a benzylic alcohol group, which enables its use in constructing complex, stereochemically defined molecules. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, particularly for developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals where precise chirality is critical.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, especially in central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular therapeutic areas.
• Asymmetric Catalyst Ligand Precursor: Used in the development and preparation of chiral ligands for asymmetric hydrogenation and other catalytic reactions.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for creating enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Peptidomimetics Research: Serves as a constrained amino acid analogue in the design of peptide-based drugs and biochemical probes.
• Material Science Monomer: Potential monomer for synthesizing specialty polymers with unique optical or mechanical properties.
• Academic & R&D: Critical reagent in academic laboratories for methodological development in stereoselective synthesis.

Quality Control

Our (S)-(4-(1-Aminoethyl)Phenyl)Methanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to meet the exacting standards required for pharmaceutical R&D and production. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, chiral excess, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation.
