Description

[2S,4R,6R,8R,(+)]-2,4,6,8-Tetramethyl-13-Tetradecenoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity, stereochemically defined methyl ester derivative of a branched-chain unsaturated fatty acid. This compound is valued for its role as a key chiral intermediate and building block in advanced organic synthesis, particularly for the construction of complex natural products and bioactive molecules. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require precise stereochemical control and high material quality for their synthetic pathways.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a critical chiral synthon for the synthesis of complex drug candidates, especially those with polypropionate or macrolide backbones.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of advanced pesticides and herbicides where specific stereochemistry influences biological activity.
• Fragrance and Flavor Chemistry: Acts as a precursor for the synthesis of specific, high-value odorants and flavor compounds with defined sensory profiles.
• Natural Product Synthesis: A valuable building block for the total synthesis of terpenes, pheromones, and other natural products with multiple stereocenters.
• Material Science Research: Investigated as a monomer or modifier for creating polymers with unique structural properties derived from its branched chain.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized in the development of labeled compounds or probes to study enzymatic processes and metabolic pathways.
