Description

Cycloheptanecarboxylic Acid, 2-Amino- (9Ci) is a specialized organic compound featuring an amino group on a seven-membered carboxylic acid ring, making it a valuable chiral building block for complex synthesis. This compound matters for its role as a key intermediate in the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and advanced materials. It is primarily needed by research chemists and process development teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries seeking to create new molecules with specific stereochemistry and functionality.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical chiral synthon for the research and synthesis of new drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders or metabolic diseases.
• Agrochemical Research: Used in the development of novel herbicides, fungicides, or plant growth regulators where the cycloheptane scaffold imparts unique biological activity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for creating specialized chiral ligands used in asymmetric catalysis to produce enantiomerically pure compounds.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the multi-step synthesis of complex fragrance molecules, dyes, or other high-value specialty chemicals.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Utilized in universities and R&D institutes for methodological studies in organic synthesis and stereochemistry.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or modifier in the synthesis of polymers with specific thermal or mechanical properties derived from the strained ring system.

Quality Control

Our Cycloheptanecarboxylic Acid, 2-Amino- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the high standards required for research and process chemistry. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for chiral purity, chemical purity, and residual solvents are available upon request to support your quality assurance 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 to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
