Description

Ethanone, (1R,3R,6S)-1-Tricyclo[2.2.1.02,6]Hept-3-Yl-, Rel- (9Ci) is a high-purity, stereochemically defined ketone derivative based on the rigid tricyclo[2.2.1.02,6]heptane (norbornane) framework. This compound matters as a sophisticated chiral building block and intermediate, offering a unique three-dimensional structure for advanced organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. It is needed by R&D chemists and process development teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for creating novel active ingredients and functional materials with specific spatial configurations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key chiral synthon in the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for central nervous system (CNS) and antiviral drugs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the creation of novel, stereoselective pesticides and herbicides where the specific spatial orientation of the molecule is critical for bioactivity.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Ligand Precursor: Acts as a starting material for synthesizing novel chiral ligands used in asymmetric hydrogenation and other enantioselective transformations.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of advanced polymers and functional materials with tailored properties derived from its rigid, polycyclic structure.
• Flavor & Fragrance Chemistry: Utilized as an intermediate for synthesizing complex, naturally-inspired odorants and flavor compounds with high stereochemical purity.
• Academic & Institutional Research: A valuable tool for methodological studies in organic synthesis, total synthesis of natural products, and stereochemistry education.
