Description

n-(9-Anthracenemethyl)Cinchonidiniumbromide CAS NO 344452-66-0 is a specialized quaternary ammonium salt derived from cinchonidine, featuring a pendant anthracenemethyl group that imparts unique photophysical and chiral properties. This compound is valued for its role as a highly effective phase-transfer catalyst and chiral selector in asymmetric synthesis, enabling critical enantioselective transformations. It is primarily sought by research institutions and chemical manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for developing novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Asymmetric Phase-Transfer Catalysis (PTC): Employed as a chiral catalyst for enantioselective alkylation, Michael addition, and other C-C bond-forming reactions under mild conditions.
• Chiral Resolution and Analysis: Used as a chiral selector or additive in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis for the separation of enantiomers.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Facilitates the production of enantiomerically pure intermediates for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in alkaloid chemistry.
• Academic and Industrial R&D: Serves as a key reagent in methodological development for organic synthesis and catalysis research.
• Specialty Chemical Manufacturing: Applied in the synthesis of complex, chiral molecules for agrochemicals and fine chemicals.
• Photocatalysis and Materials Science: Its anthracene moiety allows potential applications in photoinduced electron transfer processes and the development of smart materials.

Quality Control

Our n-(9-Anthracenemethyl)Cinchonidiniumbromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure high chemical purity and chiral integrity, meeting the stringent requirements for catalysis and chiral synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting identity, purity, and specific tests. We support custom synthesis and can tailor specifications to meet specific research or production-grade needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
