Description

L-Halothane is a high-purity, chiral isomer of the inhalation anesthetic Halothane, specifically identified by CAS NO 51230-18-3. This compound is critical for advanced pharmaceutical research and development, particularly in the study of stereoselective drug metabolism and receptor interactions. It is an essential building block and reference standard for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries who require precise enantiomeric control for developing safer and more effective anesthetic agents and related therapeutic compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for analytical method development, validation, and quality control of anesthetic products.
• Stereochemical Research: Serves as a key intermediate in academic and industrial research investigating the pharmacological differences between enantiomers of halogenated anesthetics.
• Process Development: Employed in the development and scaling of enantioselective synthesis routes for chiral pharmaceutical compounds.
• Metabolite Studies: Utilized in toxicology and pharmacokinetic studies to understand the metabolic pathways and effects of the specific L-enantiomer.
• Analytical Chemistry: Acts as a high-purity standard for gas chromatography (GC) and other chromatographic techniques in forensic and environmental analysis.
