Description

Bicyclo[2.2.1]Heptane-2-Carboxaldehyde, 3,3-Dimethyl-, (1S,2R,4R)- (9Ci) is a high-purity, stereochemically defined chiral aldehyde derivative of norbornane. This compound serves as a critical chiral building block and advanced intermediate in sophisticated organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of a rigid, three-dimensional bicyclic framework. It is primarily sought after by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for the synthesis of novel active ingredients, as well as by specialty chemical manufacturers developing performance materials and ligands for asymmetric catalysis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the development of novel drug candidates, particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and antiviral research.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the creation of advanced, stereospecific pesticides and herbicides with enhanced efficacy.
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Serves as a precursor for chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in enantioselective transformations.
• Fragrance & Flavor Chemistry: Acts as a starting material for synthesizing unique, high-value odorants with complex woody or amber notes.
• Material Science Research: Building block for polymers and advanced organic materials requiring rigid, shape-persistent molecular units.
• Academic & Process Chemistry: Employed in methodological studies and scale-up process development for complex molecule synthesis.

Quality Control

Every batch of our chiral intermediates is produced under strict quality management systems. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and chiral chromatography to guarantee high chemical and enantiomeric purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and support your regulatory documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. This material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air or light should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
