Description

(S)-Oxiranemethanol CAS NO 60456-23-7 is a high-value, chiral epoxide derivative that serves as a critical building block in asymmetric synthesis. Its enantiopure nature is essential for producing optically active pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals with high stereoselectivity. This compound is primarily sought by research institutions and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for developing advanced active ingredients and chiral ligands.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key chiral synthon for the synthesis of β-blockers, antiviral agents, and other active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of enantiomerically pure herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Asymmetric Catalysis: Employed as a precursor for chiral catalysts and ligands used in stereoselective transformations.
• Fine Chemical Production: Building block for specialty polymers, advanced materials, and performance chemicals requiring specific chirality.
• Academic & Industrial Research: Valuable reagent for methodological development in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry.

Quality Control

Our (S)-Oxiranemethanol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assay and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for advanced synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for enantiomeric excess (ee), chemical purity, and identity are provided and available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
