Description

[S,(+)]-3-Heptadecanol is a high-purity, chiral secondary alcohol characterized by its specific stereochemistry at the third carbon of a seventeen-carbon chain. This precise molecular configuration makes it a valuable chiral building block and intermediate for advanced organic synthesis. It is particularly sought after by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries for applications requiring enantiomeric purity, such as in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), liquid crystals, and specialty surfactants.

Application

• Chiral Intermediate in Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Serves as a key starting material or intermediate for the production of enantiomerically pure drugs and bioactive molecules.
• Liquid Crystal Materials: Used in the research and development of chiral dopants and components for advanced liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Employed as a ligand precursor or a chiral auxiliary in catalytic asymmetric reactions.
• Fine Chemical and Flavor/Fragrance Synthesis: Acts as a building block for creating complex, stereodefined fragrance compounds and other high-value fine chemicals.
• Academic and Industrial Research: Utilized as a standard or reagent in stereochemical studies and methodological development.
• Specialty Surfactants and Esters: Can be derivatized to produce chiral surfactants or esters with specific interfacial properties.
