Description

(3As,6Aβ,9Bβ)-3Aβ,4,5,6,6A,7,8,9,9A,9B-Decahydro-7β,9β-Dihydroxy-6α,9Aα-Dimethyl-3-Methyleneazuleno[4,5-B]Furan-2(3H)-One is a complex sesquiterpene lactone derivative with a unique azulene-fused furanone structure. This compound is valued for its intricate molecular architecture, which serves as a critical intermediate or reference standard in advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is primarily sought after by R&D chemists and process development teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for the development of novel active ingredients and complex natural product analogs.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral building block or precursor in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting anti-inflammatory or anti-cancer pathways.
• Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical standard in quality control laboratories for method development, validation, and impurity profiling.
• Natural Product Synthesis: Acts as a sophisticated intermediate in the total or semi-synthesis of complex natural products with azulene or sesquiterpene skeletons.
• Agrochemical Research: Investigated as a lead structure or intermediate for developing new crop protection agents with unique modes of action.
• Chemical Biology Probe: Utilized in academic and industrial research to study biological pathways and protein interactions due to its specific three-dimensional shape.
• Material Science: Explored as a monomer or functional additive for creating specialty polymers with specific optical or electronic properties.

A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

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 in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties.
