Description

(R)-3-(4-Bromophenoxy)-2-Methylpropane-1,2-Diol CAS NO 1318734-99-4 is a chiral diol intermediate of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in its enantiomerically pure (R)-configuration and the reactive bromophenoxy moiety, making it a versatile building block for constructing complex, optically active molecules. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), agrochemicals, and specialty fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of potential drug candidates, particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular therapeutic areas.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in developing novel, enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators where specific stereochemistry is crucial for bioactivity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Serves as a precursor for chiral ligands used in asymmetric catalysis, such as in hydrogenation or epoxidation reactions.
• Material Science Monomer: Can be polymerized or incorporated into polymers to create specialty materials with unique optical or chemical properties.
• Academic & R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological studies in organic chemistry, including studies on stereoselective synthesis and etherification reactions.

Quality Control

Our (R)-3-(4-Bromophenoxy)-2-Methylpropane-1,2-Diol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure high enantiomeric excess (e.e.) and chemical purity suitable for demanding synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full specification data are 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 after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
