Description

(S)-2-((3-Fluorophenoxy)Methyl)Oxirane is a high-value chiral epoxide building block, distinguished by its fluorinated aromatic side chain. This compound matters for its role as a critical intermediate in the synthesis of enantiomerically pure active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and advanced agrochemicals. Pharmaceutical R&D and fine chemical manufacturers need it to develop novel therapeutic agents, leveraging its defined stereochemistry and fluorine atom for enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral precursor for the synthesis of β-blockers, antiviral agents, and other enantiopure drugs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for developing novel, optically active herbicides and pesticides with improved efficacy.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Used in the research and production of fluorinated advanced materials for electronic displays.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Research: Valuable substrate for developing and testing new chiral catalysts and synthetic methodologies.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate for specialty chemicals requiring a fluorinated phenoxy glycidyl ether structure.

Quality Control

Our (S)-2-((3-Fluorophenoxy)Methyl)Oxirane is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral HPLC for enantiomeric excess (ee) verification, to ensure compliance with exacting R&D and cGMP-grade standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and chiral purity is provided with each shipment.

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). This material is moisture-sensitive; keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
