Description

Bicyclo[3.2.0]Heptane-2,3-Diol, 5-Methyl-2-Phenyl-, (1R,2R,3R,5R)-Rel- (9Ci) is a high-purity, stereochemically defined bicyclic diol derivative that serves as a critical chiral building block and synthetic intermediate. Its value lies in its rigid molecular framework and defined stereochemistry, which are essential for imparting specific three-dimensional properties in advanced organic synthesis. This compound is primarily needed by research institutions and industrial R&D departments in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors for developing novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in antiviral, anti-inflammatory, or central nervous system (CNS) drug candidates.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the synthesis of advanced, stereoselective pesticides and herbicides where the specific spatial orientation of the molecule influences biological activity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis to control stereoselectivity in chemical reactions.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the development of specialty polymers, liquid crystals, or other advanced materials requiring rigid, functionalized molecular cores.
• Academic and Process Chemistry: A valuable reference standard and starting material for methodological studies in organic synthesis and process optimization.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Potential intermediate for the synthesis of complex, naturally-derived odorants and flavor compounds with specific stereochemical profiles.
