Description

Rac 2-Myristoyl-3-Chloropropanediol, 95% CAS NO 1330166-18-1 is a high-purity synthetic intermediate featuring a chloropropanediol backbone esterified with a myristoyl (tetradecanoyl) chain. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile building block in organic synthesis, particularly for introducing specific lipophilic and reactive functional groups. It is primarily utilized by researchers and process chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for developing novel active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon in the research and development of potential drug candidates, especially those targeting lipid-modifying enzymes or requiring specific fatty acid-like moieties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the preparation of novel herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators where the chloropropanediol structure can be further functionalized.
• Lipid Chemistry Research: Acts as a model compound or precursor in studies involving glycerolipid analogs, surfactant chemistry, and membrane biology.
• Polymer Modification: Employed as a reactive monomer or cross-linking agent to introduce chlorine and ester functionalities into polymer backbones for specialized material properties.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Useful for synthesizing activity-based probes or labeled compounds to study enzymatic processes involving lipid substrates.
