Description

Rac 2-Stearoyl-3-Chloropropanediol CAS NO 1329611-08-6 is a synthetic, high-purity chemical intermediate characterized by its chloropropanediol backbone esterified with stearic acid. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules, particularly in pharmaceutical and specialty chemical research. It is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process development scientists working in advanced organic synthesis, lipid chemistry, and the development of prodrugs or functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those with lipid-like properties or targeted delivery mechanisms.
• Lipid Chemistry Research: Used as a model compound or synthetic target in studies involving glycerolipids, surfactants, and ester chemistry.
• Prodrug Synthesis: Serves as a building block for creating prodrug candidates where the chloropropanediol moiety can be further functionalized.
• Specialty Chemical Manufacturing: Employed in the production of custom surfactants, emulsifiers, or plasticizers with specific functional groups.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological development in organic synthesis and catalysis studies.
