Description

Indane-1,3-Diol is a valuable dihydroxy-substituted indane derivative, serving as a versatile chiral building block and intermediate in advanced organic synthesis. Its rigid, fused-ring structure with two hydroxyl groups in the 1,3-positions makes it particularly useful for constructing complex molecular architectures with defined stereochemistry. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries, where it is employed in the development of active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key chiral precursor in the synthesis of potential drug candidates, particularly for central nervous system (CNS) agents and other biologically active molecules.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced pesticides and herbicides, leveraging its rigid backbone for bioactivity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a scaffold for creating novel chiral ligands and organocatalysts used in asymmetric synthesis.
• Material Science Research: Acts as a monomer or building block for developing polymers and advanced organic materials with specific thermal or optical properties.
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the multistep synthesis of complex fragrance compounds, dyes, and other high-value specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our Indane-1,3-Diol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral purity assessment, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles.

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 minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
