Description

(R)-1-(Pyridin-2-Yl)Ethanamine Dihydrochloride is a high-purity chiral amine derivative, serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in providing a defined stereocenter essential for creating enantiomerically pure compounds, which is paramount for achieving specific biological activity. This intermediate is primarily needed by pharmaceutical R&D and fine chemical manufacturers developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), agrochemicals, and specialty ligands for catalysis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the research and development of novel therapeutic agents, particularly for central nervous system (CNS) targets.
• Asymmetric Catalyst Ligand Precursor: Used to synthesize chiral ligands for metal-catalyzed asymmetric reactions, enhancing enantioselectivity in industrial chemical processes.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the creation of enantiomerically pure pesticides and herbicides, where the specific stereochemistry can influence efficacy and environmental impact.
• Chemical Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity standard for analytical method development and quality control in laboratories.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A valuable reagent for methodological studies in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry programs.

Quality Control

Our (R)-1-(Pyridin-2-Yl)Ethanamine Dihydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral HPLC for enantiomeric excess (ee) verification, to ensure compliance with high-purity standards for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, 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 area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under anhydrous conditions to prevent degradation.
