Description

Cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde, 3-(Hydroxymethyl)- (9Ci) is a versatile bifunctional aldehyde intermediate, characterized by its reactive formyl group and hydroxymethyl substituent on the cyclohexane ring. This unique structure makes it a valuable building block for synthesizing complex molecules, particularly in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical sectors. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), chiral ligands, and advanced polymers. The compound, identified by CAS No. 323179-65-3, offers a strategic combination of aldehyde reactivity and alcohol functionality for multi-step synthetic routes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of complex drug molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for central nervous system (CNS) and anti-inflammatory agents.
• Chiral Ligand Synthesis: Used to construct sophisticated chiral auxiliaries and ligands for asymmetric catalysis, crucial for producing enantiomerically pure compounds.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a versatile building block for fragrances, flavors, and specialty agrochemicals requiring specific cyclohexane-based architectures.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: The aldehyde and hydroxyl groups enable its use as a cross-linking agent or monomer in the production of specialty polymers, coatings, and resins.
• Organic Synthesis Research: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for exploring novel heterocyclic compounds, macrocycles, and other advanced organic materials.

Quality Control

Our production of Cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde, 3-(Hydroxymethyl)- adheres to stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. All materials are subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to verify identity, potency, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment. We support compliance with cGMP, ISO, and other relevant regulatory frameworks for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents and bases.
