Description

3-Cyclohexene-1,2-Diol,3-Methyl-6-(1-Methylethyl)-,(1S,2R,6R)-(9Ci) is a high-purity, stereochemically defined diol derivative of a terpene backbone, serving as a critical chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. Its precise stereochemistry and functional groups make it valuable for constructing complex molecular architectures with defined spatial orientation. This compound is primarily sought by R&D and production chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty fragrance industries for applications requiring high stereochemical fidelity.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in the development of sterically complex molecules.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of novel pesticides and herbicides where the specific stereochemistry can influence biological activity.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile starting material or intermediate in the preparation of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances.
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Can be utilized as a chiral ligand precursor or auxiliary in catalytic processes to induce enantioselectivity.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Employed in research laboratories for methodological studies in organic synthesis and natural product analog development.

Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards for chiral purity and chemical identity. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including chiral HPLC, GC, and NMR to confirm stereochemical purity and chemical composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles are available upon request. We adhere to a cGMP-compliant quality management system to ensure traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for research and development applications.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
