Description

Benzeneethanol, 2-Fluoro-α-Methyl-, (+)- (9Ci) CAS NO 549529-09-1 is a chiral, fluorinated derivative of phenethyl alcohol, serving as a sophisticated building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in the precise stereochemistry and the introduction of fluorine, which are critical for modulating the biological activity, metabolic stability, and physicochemical properties of target molecules. This high-purity intermediate is essential for research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, where it is used to create novel active ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral synthon for the research and development of new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and metabolic disease therapeutics.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the creation of advanced, fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorine atom enhances lipophilicity and target binding.
• Asymmetric Catalysis Research: Serves as a valuable substrate or ligand precursor in the development of new catalytic systems for stereoselective synthesis.
• Material Science Precursor: Potential use in synthesizing specialty monomers for advanced polymers with unique optical or electronic properties.
• Fluorine Chemistry Studies: An important compound for academic and industrial research into the effects of fluorination on molecular conformation and reactivity.
