Description

(+/-)1-o-Hexadecyl-2-o-Methanesulfonyl-3-o-(Triphenylmethyl)Glycerol CAS NO 1263034-20-3 is a high-purity, synthetic glycerol derivative featuring a hexadecyl (cetyl) chain, a methanesulfonyl (mesyl) group, and a triphenylmethyl (trityl) protecting group. This compound is a critical advanced pharmaceutical intermediate and a versatile building block in organic synthesis, valued for its unique structure that enables precise chemical modifications. It is primarily utilized by research institutions and pharmaceutical manufacturers engaged in the development of complex lipids, prodrugs, and novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the multi-step synthesis of complex lipid-based drug molecules and prodrugs.
• Lipid Chemistry Research: Used as a model compound or building block for studying lipid membrane interactions and designing novel lipid conjugates.
• Protecting Group Chemistry: The trityl group serves as a protective group for alcohols in complex multi-step organic syntheses, particularly in carbohydrate and nucleoside chemistry.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Research: Acts as a sophisticated starting material for developing new non-ionic surfactants with specific hydrophobic/hydrophilic balance.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized in the creation of tagged lipid probes for studying cellular processes and enzyme mechanisms.
• Material Science: Serves as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the research of specialty polymers and functionalized materials.
