Description

Hexanenitrile, 3-(Hydroxymethyl)-, (3R)- CAS NO 2179080-15-8 is a high-purity, chiral nitrile building block of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in the combination of a reactive nitrile group and a hydroxymethyl substituent on a stereodefined carbon center, enabling the construction of complex, optically active molecules. This compound is essential for research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries, particularly for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and novel agrochemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of complex drug molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of novel, stereospecific pesticides and herbicides.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a versatile building block for creating specialty chemicals, flavors, and fragrances.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Employed in the preparation of chiral ligands and organocatalysts for asymmetric synthesis.
• Academic and R&D Laboratories: A valuable reagent for methodological development in organic chemistry and medicinal chemistry research.
