Description

(E)-4-Chlorocyclohexanol CAS NO 29538-77-0 is a versatile chiral building block and intermediate in organic synthesis. Its value lies in the presence of both a chlorine substituent and a hydroxyl group on the cyclohexane ring, which can be selectively modified for further chemical transformations. This compound is primarily needed by research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the synthesis of more complex, biologically active molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in medicinal chemistry programs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides where the chlorocyclohexanol structure is a core component.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Serves as a precursor for chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Academic and Industrial Research: A valuable compound for methodological studies in organic chemistry, including stereoselective reactions and functional group interconversions.
• Polymer Modification: Can act as a monomer or modifier in the synthesis of specialty polymers with tailored properties.
