Description

(S)-(+)-1-Amino-2-Propanol CAS NO 2799-17-9 is a high-purity, chiral amino alcohol characterized by its single (S)-configuration. This compound serves as a critical chiral building block and resolving agent in asymmetric synthesis, enabling the production of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. It is essential for research and manufacturing in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries where precise stereochemistry is paramount.

Application

• Chiral Intermediate in Pharmaceutical Synthesis: A key starting material or resolving agent for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the development of β-blockers, antivirals, and other chiral drugs.
• Asymmetric Catalyst Ligand Precursor: Used to synthesize chiral ligands for metal-catalyzed reactions, such as asymmetric hydrogenation and epoxidation.
• Agrochemical Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Resolution of Racemic Acids: Acts as a chiral base for the classical resolution of racemic mixtures via diastereomeric salt formation.
• Polymer Modification: Utilized as a monomer or chain modifier to introduce chiral centers or functional groups into specialty polymers.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new synthetic methodologies and chiral compounds.
