Description

[R-(R*,S*)]-α-[1-(Ethylmethylamino)Ethyl]Benzyl Alcohol Hydrochloride is a chiral amino alcohol derivative, supplied as its hydrochloride salt to enhance stability and handling. This compound serves as a critical chiral intermediate and building block in the synthesis of complex pharmaceutical molecules, where stereochemical purity is paramount. It is essential for research and production in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries, particularly for developing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and ligands for asymmetric catalysis.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the synthesis of enantiomerically pure drugs, particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular therapeutic areas.
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Used as a precursor for chiral ligands or catalysts in stereoselective organic transformations.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Employed in the development of enantiomerically active herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Fine Chemical Production: A versatile building block for creating complex, high-value specialty chemicals with defined stereochemistry.
• Academic & Industrial Research: Serves as a standard or starting material in methodological development for synthetic organic and medicinal chemistry.

Quality Control

Our [R-(R*,S*)]-α-[1-(Ethylmethylamino)Ethyl]Benzyl Alcohol Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and advanced synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
