Description

Bicyclo[2.2.1]Heptan-2-Ol, 1,7,7-Trimethyl-, (1R,4R)- (9Ci) is a high-purity, stereochemically defined organic compound, specifically the (1R,4R)-enantiomer of fenchyl alcohol. This compound is valued for its rigid bicyclic structure and chiral centers, making it a versatile and sought-after intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. It is primarily used by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries for applications requiring specific stereochemistry and molecular geometry.

Application

• Chiral Intermediate in Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) where the rigid fenchyl skeleton imparts specific biological activity or is used to control stereochemistry.
• Agrochemical Research & Development: Used in the synthesis of novel pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators that leverage its unique molecular framework.
• Fragrance and Flavor Chemistry: Acts as a precursor for synthesizing high-value aroma chemicals and flavoring agents, capitalizing on the camphoraceous notes of the fenchane family.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Employed in the creation of chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis, essential for producing enantiomerically pure compounds.
• Fine Chemical and Specialty Material Production: Utilized in the synthesis of complex organic molecules for advanced materials, liquid crystals, or specialty polymers.
• Academic and Industrial Research: A valuable reference standard and starting material in methodological development and stereochemical studies.
