Description

(R)-(+)-3-Cyclohexenecarboxylic Acid CAS NO 5709-98-8 is a high-purity, chiral organic acid featuring a cyclohexene ring, which serves as a versatile building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its enantiomeric purity makes it a critical intermediate for the production of optically active pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. This compound is essential for research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries who require a reliable source of a specific chiral synthon.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for central nervous system (CNS) drugs, anti-inflammatory agents, and other therapeutic compounds.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators where specific stereochemistry is required for biological activity.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Ligand Precursor: Serves as a starting material for the synthesis of chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in enantioselective transformations.
• Fine Chemical & Flavor/Fragrance Ingredient: Employed in the synthesis of complex natural product analogs and chiral components for high-value flavors and fragrances.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: A valuable reagent for methodological development in organic chemistry, particularly in studies involving Diels-Alder reactions and other cycloadditions.

Quality Control

Our (R)-(+)-3-Cyclohexenecarboxylic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming specifications for identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and related substances.

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 to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
