Description

(-)-Clovene is a specific enantiomer of the sesquiterpene hydrocarbon clovene, identified by CAS NO 469-92-1. This compound is valued for its unique stereochemistry and serves as a key chiral building block and reference standard in advanced organic synthesis. It is primarily sought by research and development teams in the pharmaceutical, fragrance, and flavor industries for creating novel compounds with specific biological or sensory properties.

Application

• Chiral Intermediate in Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as a starting material or intermediate for synthesizing enantiomerically pure drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Fragrance and Flavor Research: Acts as a key component or reference standard in the development of complex, high-value aromatic compositions due to its specific terpenoid structure.
• Academic and Industrial R&D: Serves as a pure chemical standard for analytical method development, catalysis studies, and stereochemistry research.
• Natural Product Synthesis: Employed in the total synthesis of complex natural products where the specific (-)-clovene skeleton is required.
• Specialty Chemical Manufacturing: Utilized in the production of fine chemicals and advanced materials requiring specific terpene-based architectures.

Quality Control

Our (-)-Clovene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high enantiomeric purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and chiral purity, typically verified by GC, GC-MS, and chiral HPLC. We support cGMP and ISO-guided practices for research-grade materials.

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 2-8°C or as specified on the label. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to air, heat, or light should be avoided. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
