Description

Cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde, 2,6-Dimethyl-, (1Alpha,2Beta,6Beta)- (9Ci) is a high-purity, stereochemically defined aldehyde derivative of dimethyl-substituted cyclohexane. This compound serves as a critical chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis, valued for its defined three-dimensional structure which imparts specific steric and electronic properties to final products. It is primarily needed by pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty fragrance research and development teams for creating novel active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the synthesis of complex drug candidates, particularly in developing stereoselective therapeutic molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced pesticides and herbicides where specific isomerism affects biological activity.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a precursor for catalysts, ligands, and other specialty chemicals requiring a rigid, substituted cyclohexane framework.
• Fragrance and Flavor Ingredient: Acts as an intermediate for creating novel, high-value aroma chemicals with unique olfactory profiles.
• Academic and Industrial Research: Employed in methodological studies and process chemistry development for asymmetric synthesis.
• Material Science: Potential monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of specialized polymers with tailored properties.

Quality Control

Our Cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde, 2,6-Dimethyl-, (1Alpha,2Beta,6Beta)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by GC or HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request. We support cGMP and ISO compliant manufacturing for critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, the container should be kept sealed after each use to minimize exposure to air. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and incompatible materials.
