Description

(1S,2S)-(-)-2-Amino-1,2-Diphenylethanol is a high-purity chiral amino alcohol building block of significant importance in asymmetric synthesis. Its value lies in its utility as a versatile chiral auxiliary and ligand for the production of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for developing new active ingredients and advanced materials.

Application

• Chiral Auxiliary in Asymmetric Synthesis: Used to induce stereoselectivity in key carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond-forming reactions.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical building block for the synthesis of enantiopure drug candidates, particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular therapeutic areas.
• Catalyst and Ligand Precursor: Serves as a starting material for the preparation of chiral metal-complex catalysts used in hydrogenation and other catalytic processes.
• Resolution Agent: Employed for the chiral resolution of racemic mixtures of acids and other compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Academic and Industrial R&D: A valuable tool for methodological development in organic chemistry and process chemistry laboratories.

Quality Control

Our (1S,2S)-(-)-2-Amino-1,2-Diphenylethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality and regulatory documentation.

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 after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider the use of desiccants.
