Description

(R)-(+)-1-Phenylethylamine CAS NO 3886-69-9 is a high-purity chiral amine building block essential for asymmetric synthesis. Its primary value lies in its role as a versatile resolving agent and chiral auxiliary for the production of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. This product is critically needed by R&D laboratories, fine chemical manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies engaged in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other optically active compounds.

Application

• As a chiral resolving agent for the separation of racemic mixtures of carboxylic acids and other acidic compounds.
• As a key chiral intermediate and building block in the asymmetric synthesis of pharmaceutical active ingredients.
• As a ligand precursor for chiral catalysts used in enantioselective hydrogenation and other catalytic transformations.
• In the preparation of chiral ionic liquids and stationary phases for chromatographic separation techniques.
• For the synthesis of advanced materials and liquid crystals requiring specific optical properties.
• In agrochemical research for the development of enantiomerically pure herbicides and pesticides.
