Description

(S)-(+)-2-Benzylamino-1-Butanol is a chiral amino alcohol building block of significant synthetic utility. This compound matters as a versatile intermediate for the preparation of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals, offering a defined stereocenter for asymmetric synthesis. It is primarily needed by research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical industry for creating active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), as well as by manufacturers of advanced catalysts and ligands.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure drugs, particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and cardiovascular therapeutic areas.
• Catalyst and Ligand Precursor: Used in the development of asymmetric catalysts for enantioselective hydrogenation, alkylation, and other C-C bond-forming reactions.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Building block for complex natural products, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals requiring specific stereochemistry.
• Resolution Agent: Employed as a chiral auxiliary or resolving agent for the separation of racemic mixtures of acids or other compounds.
• Academic and Industrial Research: Serves as a standard or starting material in methodological development for organic and medicinal chemistry.

Quality Control

Our (S)-(+)-2-Benzylamino-1-Butanol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure compliance with exacting standards for research and process chemistry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, 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 place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
