Description

1-Propanone, 1-(2-Furanyl)-2-Hydroxy-, (2S)- (9Ci) is a chiral, furan-containing β-hydroxy ketone, a valuable synthetic building block in organic chemistry. This compound is significant for its role as a key intermediate in the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical sectors. It is primarily needed by research and development chemists, process development scientists, and manufacturers in fine chemical and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) production.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial chiral synthon for the synthesis of potential drug candidates, especially those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders or possessing anti-inflammatory properties.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of novel pesticides and herbicides, leveraging the furan moiety for biological activity.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Research: Serves as a model substrate or a chiral ligand precursor in the development of new asymmetric synthetic methodologies.
• Flavor and Fragrance Chemistry: Acts as an intermediate for the synthesis of complex aroma chemicals, where the furan ring contributes to characteristic notes.
• Material Science Research: Utilized as a monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of specialized polymers with unique thermal or optical properties.
• Academic and Contract Research: Employed in university and CRO (Contract Research Organization) laboratories for fundamental organic synthesis projects and custom synthesis services.
