Description

(S,S)-1,2,3,4-Diepoxybutane is a high-purity chiral epoxide building block of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters as a versatile and stereochemically defined intermediate for constructing complex molecular architectures, particularly in pharmaceutical research. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for applications such as asymmetric synthesis and the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of novel drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially those requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Asymmetric Synthesis: Used as a building block in stereoselective reactions to introduce the diepoxy functionality into target molecules with high enantiomeric purity.
• Cross-linking Agent: Potential application in the research and development of specialty polymers and resins where controlled cross-linking is required.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Intermediate in the development of advanced, stereospecific pesticides and herbicides.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Useful in academic and industrial research for modifying biomolecules or creating molecular probes to study biological systems.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing chiral ligands and catalysts used in enantioselective catalysis.

Quality Control

Our (S,S)-1,2,3,4-Diepoxybutane is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity suitable for research and development. Each lot is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards and can provide material tailored to specific project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (typically 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. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
