Description

(S)-1-(3-Pyridyl)Ethanol is a high-purity chiral building block and intermediate of significant importance in asymmetric synthesis. Its value lies in its enantiomeric purity, which is critical for producing optically active compounds with specific biological activities. This product is essential for research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries who require a reliable source of this specific stereoisomer for API synthesis and advanced material development.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for drugs targeting the central nervous system.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of enantiomerically pure pesticides and herbicides where specific stereochemistry is required for efficacy and environmental safety.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Serves as a precursor for chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric hydrogenation and other stereoselective transformations.
• Fine Chemical and Flavor/Fragrance Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of complex, high-value specialty chemicals and aroma compounds.
• Academic and Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for method development and discovery chemistry in both university and corporate research laboratories.
• Material Science: Potential use as a monomer or modifying agent for creating chiral polymers and advanced functional materials.

Quality Control

Every batch of (S)-1-(3-Pyridyl)Ethanol is produced under strict quality management systems. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure compliance with customer specifications and industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles are available upon request. We support development projects by providing material suitable for use under cGMP guidelines for non-clinical and clinical-stage applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect purity and stability. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
