Description

(S)-1-(3-Cyanophenyl)Ethanol is a high-value chiral intermediate characterized by its cyanophenyl and ethanol functional groups. This compound matters for its role as a critical building block in the synthesis of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. It is primarily needed by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced material sectors for developing active ingredients and novel compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the production of enantiomerically pure active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in central nervous system and cardiovascular drug research.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of chiral pesticides and herbicides where specific stereochemistry is required for biological activity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing chiral ligands used in asymmetric catalysis and transition metal complexes.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances requiring high optical purity.
• Academic and R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological development in organic synthesis and stereochemistry studies within university and industrial research labs.

Quality Control

Our (S)-1-(3-Cyanophenyl)Ethanol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high optical purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral HPLC for enantiomeric excess (ee) determination and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 degradation.
